Poem from Mom "The Woods"

"The Woods"




the earth is spinning
its ocean of tears
the woods hears it
shouting to deaf ears
something is off center
closing the door
to our survival
somewhere there is
a disturbance in the force
around our planet
an earthquake is shaking
a tsunami is drownding
a fire is devouring
a plague is killing
a hurricane is blowing
a tornado is roaring
droughts and floods
hungry people knowing
not knowing not stopping
not loving enough the gift
we were given to hold us
the earth that is crying out
telling us to listen
man has lost his balance
his place on the planet
as he drives into its destruction
mother nature is telling us
without the woods
we will not be
listen to the woods
