the world as it turns



round universe
circling the sky
far distant
and vast
home to countless
stars
home to planets
galaxies
and the sun

a set up stage, a prop
a theater to watch
rolling, edging
encircling
its inhabitants

the world is
looking at you
quietly
in sync with
the tide

the world is
watching
as the waves
rolls on
to the shore

the world is
waiting
as the sun climbs
up the sky
until it sleeps
until it rests
on the other side

the world
is watching
and waiting
with amusement
and surprise :)
