Muse

~

She was my muse,

A Goddess,

One might even say one of nine.


She was beautiful in every way,

Still is, in fact - but beautiful in a sad, yet historic way

But it pains my heart,

The way hers is being polluted,

Loaded with harmful toxins of bitter words, violent actions and

Worst of all, destructive thoughts.

I never knew it would come to this, but surely it was inevitable


With all the hate, all the spite that has slowly but surely seeped into existence

Her once beautiful..mountainous..Verdant terrains are no longer blooming

Cyan skies no longer pure

Indigo seas no longer inviting


Mother Nature,

What has become of you?

You have been ruined


Yet you inspire me evermore.


My muse.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
