The Earth Does Not Regret Its Times of Mourning

The Earth does not regret its times of mourning, However overwhelmed by waves of grief. Inside each thing is an eternal fire Redeeming all the sorrows of desire, Transforming them to more than mere relief. Yearning is the beauty of each dawning. One is all: Then why are stars adorning Night, ripped from their single, perfect sire Even as they dance in disbelief? Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
