One last look at 2012. Happy New Year planet Earth! by NASA Goddard Photo and Video
  

May Day

Go!
Get out
into the greening.

See
life happening.
Get hip
to the meaning

of the resurrection
metaphor for Mother Earth
in the act of returning
what each autumn we mourn
and is now being reborn
with the first heady scent
of royal purple hyacinth,
a cyclical reminder
that heaven is Earth
and we are walking
on the body
of god
