Our Earthly LoveA Poem by Josh MatteoHere is a poem for someone I will always hold dear in my heart. You know who you are.In the dark of my room, I observe you with glowing eyes On an artificial canvas Beholding the most magnificent paintings. You lay there, nonchalant, Forming hearts with your hands; And although I know your hands don’t beat, And although I know you are miles away, The earth radiates with our conjoined heartbeats, Moving tectonic plates, Causing convection currents, Pulsating the ground that separates us In a low frequency that not many can hear, Spinning the iron core Making the world turn And move around the infernal light, Making seas rise and fall Starting currents in the air Carrying birds and fish to circle the globe Supplying the fertile land with rich diversity Spreading new life to volcanically raised continents, Allowing our shared mother to take charge of nature. I can feel all this through my veins © 2012 Josh Matteo
