Poisons of Man

I woke to the sound
of tears echoing
form a downspout
Heard the sobbing 
whispering between 
the leaves
As I listened in 
the stillness 
I heard moans
coming from the earth
I walked around 
my so called garden 
with cup in hand 
my toes all wet
From tears of the Angels 
who shed their tears 
in joy and anguish
The trees were alive 
in the deafening sound 
of Bees at work
As the shadows 
inger in the 
dim daylight
The morning air growing sultry 
from the lingering embrace 
of morning light and late darkness 
in their eternal love affair
Slowly at first the leaves 
begin to move shaking 
of the Angels tears 
as the still cool 
morning breeze 
begins to rise
Shortly the passion 
of a lover's breath 
will carry through 
the day as the 
warmth of Summer 
will kiss my skin
While within the 
lingering shadows 
the cooling caresses 
fade and my beautiful 
Terra cries out in 
almost silence from 
the poisons of man
