a clod of earth (#1171)(an instance of Generic Scripted Object made by Marcus)     A dark black clod of soil. It might sing, if you played with it. Go to location of this object, Ska. After a moment, something begins to happen...             There is a story tells       of a power of the air, bright       power of stars and starlight,       stepping down to stride the hills       and strew them       with st a r       s e e d s       scattering star-corn across the soil to grow,       giving earth her need,       granting earth to bear bounty below.             Oh imagining ourselves children       of one like this,       Earth,       on your length we lie.       Born from your desires       that we might touch the stars       imagining we are of their stuff.       Our stuff and substance might be from starry skies.             In that you are stars.       Earth, we were born of your cascading       the seeds we find in fruits of your dreaming. |
