Earths Child
Earth's child awoke:
a breath was drawn before he spoke
His voice, as strong as words were wrote
His eyes, as far as stars remote,
She called his name:
A voice, which no one hears the same
It's whispers hush the tree's complaints
A song that puts the birds to shame,
To her, he walked:
A step ahead of the night, which stalked
with the whisperin' wind, he talked
Shed light where it was two shades too dark,
He spoke a verse:
A sonnet he wrote for his Mother, Earth
of all the beauty they would disperse
of all the life in which they converse,
Together, they cried:
Visions of ruins, they could not hide
for sake of the planet that has died
as the rain left puddles, where the flowers were dried.
