Farther from my Mother
My mother is an artist
Swirling hues for all to see
My father is a poet
Whose depths are mystery
Mother, I am born from your fluids
I caress your skin
Father, I feel your breath
Your warmth touches my within
My mother is so close
Her secrets weave my clothes
My father is so distant
His wonders no one knows
Mother, I know your touch
As you tumble through the years
Father, I glimpse you from afar
As you humble all my fears
I stand between
As you caress
Your union sings
Through your green dress
I would wish you proud
Of your wild child
Yet shame and sorrow
Are reconciled
For you must watch
As we mature
And trust we make it
Through this year

We are born from the primordial sea.
Our planet lives in the atmosphere of the sun and its breath gives us life.
We are in the goldilocks zone.
Water is the medium we evolved in. Sunlight is the nutrient that gave us photosynthesis and hence oxygen.
Our mother planet holds us in the embrace of her gravitational arms.
Our father sun sends us light and heat to melt the water and create the green.
Out of this union comes life and out of life we have evolved imagination. It is good to deliver a paean of thanks.
