The Evergreen Cradle

Listen to the wilderness and the stories it’ll tell From its birth joy and sorrow to the moment it fell Listen to its sighs as another day dies Noticed by no one but the shrill winds cries Hear its praise to the one who bore it at birth A true queen of queens whom they call mother earth Hear it sing to you of the things you never knew From it’s suffering and pain that it had to go through Listen to it call you back and beg that you wont attack Instead help to save humanity before the world goes black Listen to nature introduce its enormous kin It’ll only ask for mercy and acceptance of your special kind of twin Listen to vines and follow their lines back to your cradle Shut out society’s realities and run fast if you’re able For nature won’t stand too long and fight It’ll beckon to you instead and pray you find the light Nature will nurture, love and protect from the evils of society that infect It will raise you and teach respect, to save others who are emotionally wrecked Let nature captivate you and take you away, to an evergreen Eden not so far away Listen to the voices from within, and the things they say to help you survive life’s torments each and every day For the world has become a scary place to live in it seems It’s a harsh cold glass globe that will shatter all your dreams But if you manage to survive, and pull through the fake and constant negativity, nature will spar but then lift you up like a star So let it embrace you from afar, show this world full of demons the true angel that you are.
