Gaia Is Crying

For Melissa: This poem is a message from your garden. I'm so sorry for your loss. May you experience a miracle to restore the beauty of nature and hope in your garden. Blessings, love and light. Gaia is crying (My human is crying too) By Michelle Morris 27/04/2023 They cut down the gardens Gaia gasped at the destruction The Universe felt the loss Deliberate and calculated harm My human came home to chaos She is bereft and heartbroken Silent and alone The bees and butterflies have gone Gaia is crying My human is crying too Why do people embrace the darkness And destroy beauty and hope and truth Foliage rare and irreplaceable Protected and needed for life Gone for good this time By irresponsible and careless acts They cut down those gardens Then poisoned the remaining roots The garden is no more, my human And Gaia is filled with hurt Oh, Gaia is crying My human is crying too May there be a miracle healing Of this garden and our planet's heart © Michelle Morris, 2023
