“Here in the company of the quiet earth ...”
Byron Herbert Reece
The earth is still
spinning I know
But I can't quite
feel it
In the country
if you lie down
on the pasture ground
if you lie down
on the pasture ground
And the grass around
you is gently
Swaying in the wind
you is gently
Swaying in the wind
That's the way
movement begins
Not at some planet-level
astronomical swivel
movement begins
Not at some planet-level
astronomical swivel
Just a little
impetus
from drifting clouds
above
is all the
spin you need.
