Apocalypse

The whale sings
and I weep,
The world groans 
and I ache,
The wind gusts
and I bend,

The surf sighs
and I rage,
The babe cries
and I mourn,

The mountains shift
and I flinch,
The earth dies 
and I wear black.

Trisha Sugarek, 2011

such a sad poem, but there is not much to do when nature changes but to bend along with it and accept it. Thanks for sharing
