Love Poems by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.
copyright � 1993

And Which The Earth?

Raging ball of fusion power
Which dominates this corner of the galaxy,
Our sun is seething violence incarnate.
It tears off pieces of itself
And hurls them out with impudence for gravity,
Oblivious to the fury it's unleashing.

Gentle ball of blue and green
Hangs fragile in the black void of eternity.
Our earth is hope and love and understanding.
Yet beneath her crust is power
To tear herself apart in seismic holocaust,
A necessary part of self-renewal.

Which of us, then, is the sun,
And which the earth?
