Poetry Picture Challenge May 11

dancingBonfire

Green trees

majestic mountains

the clouds

dark in some places

while letting sun through to others

more of the latter, blue sky

The whisper of the wind, her breath

the rain her tears

a mountain stream her healing waters

The sun

And through these images we see our lives

more light than dark

more joy than pain

more hope than desperation

But we can also hear her cry

a cry for help, Listen

Her breath speaks of oxygen depletion

her streams of mercury poisoning

why are we so careless, do we not care?

Do we not see we are killing ourselves and our children?

magic is all around us, everyday, everywhere we look.

Awake before it's too late!! Remember!!
