Earths Language

The rain speaks in Morse
Code against my skin.
A language I long to 
Speak.
Truths of life hidden 
In the tears of 
The earth. Tales
Of love blown by
The wind.
Wars leech from 
The earth as 
I pray, teach me.
We look for answers
All the while 
Walking atop them.
Beauty cast out
By bombs of concrete
And asphalt.
Sadness woven 
Into young hearts
To innocent to understand.
The earth speaks in 
Drums and oh
How I wish I could
Speak Morse code.
