Earth
with patterned out stars to guide
I’ve eyed the life you provide
witnessing you on the mountainside
emotions inflamed and intensified
looking at liveliness by the lakeside
vigor even where sands have dried
also you take when you decide
thunderous denials amplified
leaving occupants petrified
wandering about you until I subside
wondering about you until we’re unified

The tercet.
Perfect!
And the close.
Great poem.
It’s amazing that we are able to observe and be part of something so wonderful and terrible.
I really like the “wandering” and “wondering” bit at the end.
“also you take when you decide” is a good choice to put a poem around about our relationship to the earth!
