Our Earth Pulses Every 26 Seconds, And No One Exactly Knows Why


Every single plant and flower is my friend.
Many the forest path do I journey,
Breathing in the rich earth and clean air,
Reposing in a meadow green just listening,
Amongst the dancing daisies just resting.
Could anything else be more peaceful and healing?
I think within the soil there must be magic.
Nothing is more precious than this place called Earth.
Gathering my recycling each week I do my measure!

Every tree lost is agonizing and hurtful to watch.
At my building a company is cutting down the maple trees,
Roaring they fall and I am left weeping.
The ravage of nature is so devastating to endure.
How can we, the visitors, stop the ruination of Earth?

Constance, the first part of your acrostic is beautiful and refreshing, where as the second part reveals devastation. I can imagine the earth weeping when humanity destroys a piece of it in the name of progress. Great write! Congrats on your win! Blessings, Kim M
