Terra's Verse
Terra's Verse
Unfortunately, Earth does not have a voice,
She does know how to show us, by giving us a choice.
Fluorocarbons take her breath away; for oh so many years,
The man had the sense, to put them in arrears!
Stratusphere, Ionosphere, so many spheres within spheres;
All arranged to perfection to make the atmosphere.
Protection by ionization of radiation from the sun;
Without that protection; well, that would be no fun.
Nighttime ionization occurring by Cosmic Rays;
Aurora Borealis, Aurora Australis is always why they stay.
Ionization creating, radio propagation too, all within the atmosphere
So I can talk to you.
Weather and electricity are formed there too,
Heavier charged particles, colliding with energetic electrons
To keep the Earth sky blue. Same with the Auroras;
To make their colors true.
Clouds are made of tiny water drops or ice condensing in the air,
Moving and dancing around like cotton without a care.
All air contains water, floating all around,
Condensing into vapor before it hits the ground
Majestic snowtopped mountains, high up in the clouds,
Every climber's dream, but don't scream too loud!
Standing upon a precipice, high upon a ledge,
You must keep your nerves, so you don't lose your edge.
From the mountains thaw, stream's and river's flow,
Flowing through the lands to make our Ocean's grow.
Gravitational forces from our Earth, Moon, and Sun
Keeps the tides flowing for a little summer's fun!
