Fallen
From the bosom of darkness
you fell to the sand,
I saw you there as I walked
hand in hand
with my love.
Mother Earth’s star from
the heavens below
but fading, your color,
your movement so slow
on the sand.
We scooped you up with
coins from the sea
returned to its heart,
and setting you free
in the surf.
transformed by the salt,
the wet and the chill
did seem life returned
although you were still
in the shallows.
Goodbye little star,
you have filled us with mirth
we thank God for this moment
to celebrate Mother Earth.
