Earth 
An opalescent sphere
In the vast blackness of space
A pinprick of light
In the swirl of glittering galaxies
Insignificant

Earth
A chance collision of matter
In the explosive chaos of creation
A random collusion of gases
In the exhalation of universal breath
Miraculous

Earth
A fertile womb
For seeding and nurturing life
A stranded home
For birthing and growing and dying
Precious
