National Poetry Month: Sheril's Favorite Poem

Science blogs are buzzing over National Poetry Month, so here is my favorite poem of all time:

If I Were The Sun
- Seth, 1984

If I were the shining sun,
I would shine on the Earth everyday,
And clear away people's gloom,
So that they would be full of joy.

Betweem the poem and the music, what a glorious way the begin the day...

Here's my favorite and it relates to species, ecosystems, and ecological processes for me:

Save what can be saved
Then put it in its place
Direct the eye to it
Direct the mind by saying little
What appears is real
