Wastings
A hint of sadness rises
high up in the trees
whispers of goodbye ride each breeze.
Green leaves fades to paler shades
hues of yellow, oranges, reds displayed
as the autumn mists begin to wain.
An end to the summer warms
thundered lightning, brief rain storms
and now the earth rests in its sleepy yawns.
Unclear blended whisperings haunt the day,
with hidden messages floating on the wave
of the once calm seas writhing in the craze
of tropical storms and hurricanes soon made.
The earth awakes grumpy to its inner frustrations
to reveal its anger and its lack of patience
with man's abuse and natural wastings.
It cries and weeps at the plunder and the waste
of man's remolding it in his haste
devoid of thought or consideration of this sacred place.
The world evolves, renews and rebuilds
unaware of the blessings it freely yields
allowing man to plunder every open field.
