Battle of Mother Earth

Grandmother Moon looks down 
upon Mother Earth, 
heartbroken from the hatred 
that is running rampant. 
Spreading like a virus worldwide.

Evil, violence and anger 
are beginning to take 
its toll upon her, 
trying to dim and 
snuff out her light.

Mother Earth fights back 
with earthquakes, hurricanes,
wildfires and floods
Using all she has in 
Natures arsenal to fight for 
the souls who reside upon her. 
She is a true warrior.
 
Grandmother Moon cries 
for Mother Earth, falling tears 
filled with worry and dispair. 
"Mother Earth, my dear, 
Oh what are we to do?"

Grandmother Moon watches 
as the light within Mother Earth 
begins to grow brighter 
with each passing moment. 

Her body, mind and 
soul are strengthened 
by the Divine love she 
continually receives 
from the Universe 

Mother Earth looks up 
and says lovingly 
"Do not cry for me, 
Grandmother, 
for I am very strong. 
You have shown me 
how to shine brightly, 
even through the storm."

Gershon Wolf November 1, 2020 at 8:31 PM Such creative interplay you've set up between Grandmother Moon and Mother Earth. You certainly 'covered the waterfront,' Mary, as William Tatum commented below. Moonlight and Stardust, Gershon
