One Light of Hope

One light, one day reflect into the glistening pool
As the trickle of sunbeams bloom from the sky
Mother Earth gives her smile from her watchful eye
And there is a light of hope burning jewel
Doth, her eyes begin to befool 
Landscapes full of turmoil and begin to die
Heavens open and lets the floodgates rise
Carelessness damaged her with such great accrual
Night grows near hope ensues 
To mend her, time to change our ways
Future remains uncertain for where we call home
Phoenix rising pure and a new
There is time to turn back the clock, yet there is still abhom
Mother Earth we shall begin to renew
