by Emily Conrad
Earth is clothed in sunsets, burning.
Lakes of fish and weed and driftwood
Wash her sandy feet.
Trees brace themselves against her,
Roots twisting, anchored.
She wears turning leaves
Green, golden, and ruby.
Her grassy tresses sway in the breeze.
Mountains and valleys,
Tailored to her
By the Creator who
Formed woman, too.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
We say
Standing clothed in
Strength and dignity.

"Earth is closed in sunsets burning." Oh, my goodness. That is gorgeous. Love that you're poeticizing in your free writes and doing what you have time for, no more, no less.
Beautiful, Emily!!!
