Foreword
Want to read about a couple picnicing?
Knowing they are above the deep black belts of coal below them?
To hear them reflect on all parts of the earth mattering?
Whilst they look at the Clouds, soil, sea and life?
Poem
Notes
I wrote this poem wondering about what was the earth doing below our feet.
I thought about the earth as watching us as we came and went throughout the centuries.
It is specifically centered around two lovers going for a picnic in a shady forest.
The poem describes the deep black belts of coal below them rich for the day.
The seams are not wanted these times though as they are blamed for much in the atmosphere.
The couple want to be one with nature but know that time is not on their side
It ends by telling us that all parts of the earth matter.
The clouds, soil, sea and life all being dependent and not to be mastered by any one or thing.

The Picnic
the dark cool shady --
it's secret over the dark
has been safely life
