for six hundred billion years
this satellite in space
spins three hundred sixty five
and a quarter times
to complete its endless trip.
the passage of one revolution
about its axis.
the passage of one rotation
about its star.
six hundred billion times—
and still this wonder,
water in the ocean—
older than imagination.
the stars in the heavens—
hotter than comprehension.
we come into this world
with nothing in our hands—
we leave this world
and where do we go?
the ocean, the sun and sky
are constant reminders
salty smell—
warm breeze—
blue sky—
how can I help you today?
