With all the gravity it can muster
the Earth is pleading, now quietly, now loud,
pleading.
     Such cries as anyone could overhear,
pleading.

     A vital truth is true forever,
you need only listen once
to join with me in all my further cries.

     Insubstantial beauty, crystalline snowflake
the truth is your distance pains me,
I must hold you as a mother does.
     O please, return to me, I cannot wait
there are no borders, anywhere and everywhere 
welcome, welcome.
