Confirmation

Immediately after I posted that poem, I went for a walk in the woods...inspired by my own words, I guess...anyway, I always take my camera, and I'm glad I did:

I call this 'confirmation.'

Naturalistic

The earth
speaks
yells
cries

through
clouds
stars
rain
drought
famine
life
discovery
wonder

I heard them scream
the regal trees
were leveled
ceasing
to reach the sky
Survival
of the fittest
without a chance
I watched others flee
in fear
of leveling themselves
I felt the heartbreak
of the earth
because I felt it too

Supurfluous development
in my little nook
Earth has sent warnings
They keep
getting louder
more invasive
more tragic
A devastating irony
at the gates
to new suburbia

The Preserve
insensitive
audacious

How dare you?
How dare we??

Earth's natural forces
some call it fate
went to work
The effects tragic
the message heard

but only by me
The one that no one hears
The one invisible to the world

Silently, I worship
There are others like me
Fighting for Earth
In a war with ourselves
Against an infallible force
No one will learn.
All will perish.
Mother Earth will reign immortal.
