Dear Earth,
Do you ever get tired of spinning,
And does the weight of so many lifeforms
Ever feel heavy to you?
Do you ever get dizzy with all
That unceasing spinning?
Do you ever feel you’re on
A 24 hour grind and wish
You could take a break or
A holiday?
And do you have an exit plan
For when the sun stops
Burning in the sky?
And do all those bomb tests ever
Give you earth aches?
Last, thanks for all your tireless and thankless spinning
Day to day year to year and for hosting all
The countless lifeforms.
In gratitude,
Bob Boyd

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
