Haiku my Heart - Taking a Walk

 misty rain on cheeks

birdsong wafting on soft breeze

nature gave me these

THE EARTH GODDESS SPEAKS

 

 

come, she said

 

 let me take you on a journey

take my hand

i will show you amazing lost treasures

 

see this lazy river  -  water foaming around rocks

 worn smooth from eons of bubbles singing over them

and sounding through the water music

 birdsong  -  always birdsong

 

come along, she urged

 

let us walk this grassy path and feel the gentle breeze on damp skin

careful of that scat – walk around

soon it will become part of earth again

in its place may be a patch of lovely wildflowers – or not

 

do you see, she asked

 

 that wide bare space where the sky is strong

where forest trees once housed that  silent birdsong

but now lay flat for smoking dragons to haul  away

and the river too is changed –

 flows sadly over polluted mudbanks

 

do you wonder where the wild things have gone – do you care?

 now their homes are all flat

and the land is stripped and the rocks are crushed

and we have our boards and our oil and our gold and coal

one hundred years from now we’ll  remember them in our books

 

i am sorry, she said

 

that you have to return to your concrete jungle

but when you read of strip mining

and fracking

and palm cutting

please  -  close your eyes and remember this journey

 

perhaps you will plant a tree

 So dear readers

this is Bloggers new format

I didnt choose it

They just put it here - no choice.

No way to change double space to single.

ALL THE SAME reads kind of boring, doesn't it?

They even changed my copy and paste single-spaced poetry to double space. Makes no sense to me. 

Enjoy your weekend.
