Fairy Wings

fairy wings

can you find fairy wings
in the aftermath ash,
settled like glistening bits
of Tiffany’s glass?
or unicorns in defoliated forests
weeping golden tears 
upon the last blades of grass?
will a geiger counter, still count
the heart beats of giants
fallen to earth?
the pied piper play
to his starving mice
when all of the fields are brittle
burned to a crunch
oh!    what glory will we see
when we eat the mushroom
Alice…

Oh yes, we could find all these if we first harmony sets into our souls! Profound writing my friend, Patricia!

I do not think that many realize how much we have already lost. i hope this poem in some small way prompts people to open their hearts and minds.

Thank you Mark. I was hoping to encourage thought about exactly what we will lose such as the innocence of the child.
