nasa notebook poem

6-12-08
The world is larger now
When men must reap and sow
When the world is hushed from snow
Fallen, blanketed, white
Earth must be clothed in her baptismal gown
For the born are bare, and her branches there are
The world is young and old
Is buried, died, and dead
And born, bathed and clothed with white
There is winter wheat dull straw waving
Above white ground, and grey sky is clouded blue and dim
There is rock and path and thorns
Where air is cold and dry
Yes earth is old and young
But world is larger now for sky and
Breath of babe unborn.
