25. POEM: The earth of Julius Vern

The earth of Julius Vern 


I have seen the earth
said Julius
and it is by far
more beautiful
that you may think.

It is not a hell 
of magma and fire
It is hollow
with oxygen inside
forests and animals
oceans and clouds

 I have seen its 
bright bluish
central sun
where there is no
day and night
winter and summer


I have seen the miracle
of gravitation reversals
and the liveliness
of the taller animals


I have seen the peace
of the inner cities
the hidden continents
behind the blue sky
and felt the feeling
of being in a vast temple
