Analysis of Earth Spinning it Right



The half of Her
Is now so dark
And weary souls seek rest.
All business done
The stars have come.
So may Her dreams be blessed.

I keep the watch
As comets sweep
And oceans deep roll on.
The pulse is mine
And right on time.
Refreshed She faces dawn.

The other half
Has worked quite hard
Producing things of worth.
Some new skills learned.
Some respite earned.
Good folks around the Earth.

And at the change
The joyful burst
Of sunshine gleaming bright.
I love it all
The big, the small.
And day turned into night.
