Snowball Earth

Seven hundred million years ago the earth was near to death,
The planet was a sheet of ice, a thousand mile depth.
But lo! There creatures clung to life, defying all of fate,
Surviving near the ocean floor, tubers, plants create.
The planet, conscious of its doom, rebounded on its own,
It struggled bravely to grab hold, and weave its soul alone!
The rocks, the sky, the waters moaned in one determined cry,
To turn the tide and there survive and from death's door defy.
This planetary, indwelling soul ascribed to conscious life,
Inhabits now for all of us, and guards is like a wife!
The planet's strength is in its core, for Nature's soul is there,
One animist possessed of life to keep us in its care.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this poem, as I'm interested in this phenomenon too, and like geological history . . .
Great read. |
