Satellite photo reflecting fragile beauty
Of planet Earth, hanging in Space, 71%
Ultramarine blue ocean, 29% emerald land
Or tawny desert.  Ribbons of mountains -
Andes, Rockies – swirling, high-altitude cloudscapes
Revealing a lack of evident habitation;
Peaceful scene above politics and conflicts.
Exaggerated human importance insignificant in
Grander scheme of galaxies and the Cosmos.
Despite globalisation, pollution, climate change -
All seems serene, splendid isolation.
