The Clock Has Struck

The clock has struck.
It's way too late.
There are no thoughts left to pollinate.
The planet warms.
They've sealed their fate with
fires and storms, wars and hate.
It's way too late.

Hi Dear Kim, I guess on an individual level we can all attempt to embrace our higher selves and lift up our hurting planet. Negative thoughts which I have plenty of time, need constant weeding. God Bless you and thanks for your visit.

Hi Michael, It scares me what legacy will be left for future generations. If we stopped today using fossil fuels it will still be at least another seven years before the earth could repair the damage mankind has done and continues to do every day. Not a very positive message I'm afraid. Thanks for your visit and I am enjoying your posts as well.

Hi Anne-Lise, I'm surprised to see I got a comment. I know I'm not alone either lately though. Just a cloak of heaviness about these times we are living in. Thanks for the visit and hope you are doing well up north young lady.
