Spirits of the Earth & Sky by mythsteps published on 2022-07-12T00:49:03Z SPIRITS OF THE EARTH & SKY Today I carefully studied a video clip of a silver light zigging and zagging and zinging through the night sky. I felt eerily amazed but also confused-- what could be the purpose of such erratic movement? But I refused to ponder too long and again turned my eyes down to try to understand an erratic human who often seems alien—though he is me. “Descend to us, beings of peace!" plead starwatchers clustered in a field. “Put our upside-down world right-side up again.” But the light above abruptly shuts off as if to say: save your own selves. No more alienation please!-- when I know myself better and you know you I will know you and you, me. Perhaps then we’ll be able to see a design in all our zigging and zagging and zinging. Genre poetry
