Asunto: Happy Earth Day

My annual earth day poem:

Have I thanked you leaves?

Have I thanked you leaves
For springing forth unerringly
Covering with bright green sleeves
Your winter hardened twiggery,
Re-charged with chlorophyllic potency?

Have I fully come to realize all my senses
Sniffing the sweet aromatic atmosphere
Of Robinnia, Rosaceae, camaldulensis,
Re-framing mental arches with wisteria
Countering with cyclic antidote - the widespread hysteria?

Have I thrown my inner windows open yet
To the new bird songs longing for renewal
Their dulcet tones a balm to bomb and jet,
Recognizing the seasonal resilience as accrual
Far more valuable to resolve all nature-cheating threats?

Have I consciously reclaimed the link my footsteps daily make
With soil and continental crust and elemental ground;
Have I reflected on the leafy source of every breath I gaily take
Or on the shared inhales we all exchange-so oxy-genetically bound
Have I thanked us all as part of earth and air and universal sound?
