Notes About The Poem

There Is Only Now

I am a speck in the universe and not that important really
a dot in the now where winds blow like violins in my earthly realm
I see no future for this universe as the atmosphere is decaying and pungent
for it seems the end is near-  toxic rain is falling-  the icebergs are melting 
the stars stir with an ancient pain . . .  the moon senses the doom
a fatal future wings its way across all the oceans and seas
like a bird of prey-  the garbage is floating-  the fish are dying
the forests are burning . . . creatures we love are endangered
and I am watching, helpless to stop the universe from crashing
the flooding has begun-  soon heat will be too hot for survival on Earth

CayCay Godwin July 2, 2019 at 7:24 AM Oh you poetically brought me down. All true, all facts and definitely all downers. How I wish the people who don't get 'it' had to read all of our collective environmental poems - maybe they'd make a difference. Good luck in the contest and all else ... CayCay CayCay Godwin July 2, 2019 at 11:11 AM Honey, let's share down about the igornant vs. the earth - have you read my Hiaburn, "Careless Tosses" (current page)? The ignorant don't realize everything they value is a gift from the earth - move the h in earth to the front and know it is God's heart (to me). CayCay Constance La France July 2, 2019 at 9:10 AM CayCay, thanks for visiting, yes my poem is a bit of a downer I guess, will probably not place because it is not beautiful, but it is reality as I see it happening only the blind cannot see it ~

Caren Krutsinger July 2, 2019 at 7:17 AM " the now where winds blow like violins in my earthly realm" this hit me immediately. Your imagery is captivating, Constance. And your warning is true enough, sadly. Constance La France July 2, 2019 at 9:12 AM Caren, thanks for the visit and compliment, yes the warnings are all around us, they just found another dead whale off the coast of Canada that had died from eating garbage like plastic bags and bottles and such ~
