is it our intention
to recognize the circle
~spiritual and physical~
orbiting our globe?
heavenly planet
sown with emerald forests
and glossy sequined seas
dancing - seductively
It Is Her Fault Then
that the rapers rape-
flaunted beauty
will do that
*
such things as war
deforestation
unrelenting devastation
of our land, air, water...
Our land?
Our air?
Our water?
We should fire the nanny
-uncaring caregiver-
for our planet is crying
Our Planet
don�t you care what those men
-and some women-
are doing?
You will
*
do you hear the hum?
hmmmmmmmmm.......
it happens between my ears
a quiver of
non-sound
as thoughts swirl
in and out of sense
and non-sense
does it ever stop?
and if it did
then what?
I can tell you now
it never does
*
sweet friend
you hold my hand
as I shiver in the dark
seeking only
reassurance
that I am
*
the earth sings
joyfully
in all the days it is free
leaves rustle
like wind chimes
as the breeze brushes through
clouds form and evaporate
pulling their shades down
then slipping them up again
oceans and seas
salty, cold, hiding life
under the sky�s mirror
we did not construct
this paradise
it is not an attraction
built for our pleasure
we
-humans-
evolved in the millennia
yet
have we?
for we wreak havoc
knowingly
as this fragile earth
seeks only to provide
we are the insignificants-
not the trees
not the atmosphere
not the water
life givers
life sustainers
without which
there is no existence
