Poem
III. Ecological Awareness In this fragile eggshell I will call life for security's a mirage I chase. Existence is a gamble I take a wild and desperate gamble. Not a problem – to dissect, I say but an eagle’s call heard. A life joy-filled sorrow I feel every single day. When illness descends a chilling hand on my fevered brow. We should huddle together, a desperate "us" against the "now." The wisdom of ages speaks to me As shattering walls we raised. Instructing us, we are one in this dance of life we've praised. The desert wind’s secrets, a language my heart recalls, Ancestral teachings of strength, guiding me through the fall. The saguaro an massive oaken sentinel standing and defying the sun's harsh might A testament showing resilience, a beacon slowly burning ever. Rivers run dry and- Forests crash and crumble to ash and yet somehow, somewhere life finds a way to climb. We are fleeting caretakers who might inherit this very precious space in time. Our legacy, is not just what we hold, but the seeds we pick and choose to sow, In the face of hardship, my inner strength and mind begins to grow. From plastic choked Blue oceans skies filled smoke rising. The wounds we've inflicted scratched a burden all must share. The turtle trapped in plastic an albatross feeding its poisoned brood. A stark reflection human actions a story all too crude. Forests reduced to embers homes turned to ash and dust? Yet, like the saguaro's bloom hope rises from the earth's deep trust. We must rise mend the broken nurture life back to its core, For even in desert's heart beauty finds a way to explore. From melting ice caps to bleached coral, the scars we've carved are plain. But in rooftop gardens sprouting in wetlands reborn from the rain. We see a glimmer of hope a chance to rewrite our fate. By conserving by reducing, a planned collective act not too late, never. Each positive action a single pebble cast, creating ripples in the changing tides. Together we can heal the planet in nature's health confide. We are stewards, not just inheritors of this fragile precious sphere. Our legacy not just what is taken it’s the future we hold so dear. In the heart of the desert resilience sings low A testament to nature's strength a fire in our spirits' souls. Let us rise like the saguaro beaten with scars, yet reaching high. Guardians of this wondrous Earth, beneath the endless sky. From the scars we've got to learn what wisdom can we glean? To heal the planet rewrite our story on sands where dreams convene flowing down the stream
