Save vanishing species
The save vanishing species USPS stamp -
featuring an Amur tiger cub graphic
-----------------------------------------------
Hillborn river, gentle Amur flows east
Embracing enroute a score of besties
Enriching diverse lives, some so unique
She sways towards the ocean Pacific
Warm orange bright Siberian tigers
Left in cold, threatened, dispossessed drifters
Settle along serene flowing Amur
Takes her name, huddle along her, survive
Sad eyes with Blake's immortal

Save the Beach House or the Beach
the beach is public
but the beach house is private
when the sea erodes,
which is saved; you can't save both
saving houses erodes the beach

Save Your Mother
To some Mother Earth is an entity
So whilst your enjoying the winter freeze
Or laying in the summer heat
Do you not feel her grief?
The grief many souls have carried
Whilst digging deep in her skin
For her many and few treasures buried

Save Universe
Oh poets!
Some of them may love Iran,
Some of them may love Israel,
Some of them surly love Ukraine,
Some of them surly love Russia,
All may praise of weapons,
All may like wars to be happened
But you, Oh ! Poets,
The soul of universe,
The sound of earth,
Please stand by the earth,
Stand by the Universe,
Oh poets!
you

I Can Save You
Blinded by the burning sun
Mouths parched and without hope
Miles of endless desert sand
It's way too much, I cannot cope
The Lord whispered from across the dunes
Be steady my child, don't dismay
I can save you just like that
So you won't lose your way

Save Our Native Sisters
I as Cherokee must take a stand,
and say no more missing females from Native lands
Too many have gone missing through the years,
Along with too much sorrow and tears
I along with my Native sisters must stand and fight,
Along with our brothers to do what's right
I will shed my blood if

Save Our Marriage
My love, my heart
You're my shining star,
It's In your eyes,
That my soul goes far.
Our marriage, a flame
that's burning bright,
I want to save our marriage
Make it last through the night.
We've shared laughter,
And all of our fears,
Through every storm,
we've dried each other's tears.
Our bond is strong,
And our love is true,
I want

I Let You Go to Save Us
We stopped laughing the way we used to do,
The “I love you’s” started feeling untrue.
I saw the cracks before they spread too wide,
So I broke my own heart — just to protect your side.
I watched us fade while screaming inside,
Like drowning slow with no place to hide.
So I shattered the

How to save an ice cream cone
Band aids just won't do!
Hold the cone upside down,
Let the drops fall around.
Catch each one with your tongue!
Until the cone lets go.
Then right before the end,
Bite it off!
Too get

Hopeless
If wounds heal ,then this isn't ??,
It's my pain ,my chain ,
See - it sliced deep within my soul,
It touched my essence self .
Teach me ,not your perfect knowledge!
Shield me ,not from deadly arrows ,
Love me ,not with soft reassuring words ,
Kill my dreams oh Lord of dreams .
U gave me a purpose,ooh lord of

Don't Save It for Someday
Don’t save anything for someday—
because someday is a slow thief.
It steals in whispers,
in heartbeats you don’t count,
in the space between "I should" and "I'll get to it."
Soon, the tea turns cold—
the warmth you craved fades to memory.
What once was rich, sweet, alive...
now tastes like regret.
Sitting.
Soon, your fire fades—
that spark in your chest?
it flickers...
then dies.
The dream

No one can save you, except your own soul hidden in the depths
No one can save you, except your own soul hidden in the depths,
you will be thrown again and again into storms that seem insurmountable,
they will try to catch you in their web of shadows and masks,
to extinguish your light, to make you give up, to die slowly in silence,
but your soul, only it can save

Our Planet, Our Power
Beneath the sky so vast and blue,
A world of wonder calls to you.
With mountains tall and oceans wide,
It’s ours to love, not just to bide.
The whispering trees, the rivers that run,
The golden fields beneath the sun,
All speak a truth we can’t ignore,
This planet’s life is at our core.
But storms now rage, and glaciers cry,
Smoke hides

Save them that you hurt by hurting the world
You’ll kill your only dog because you don’t remember the sound of a bullet like him.
The sea rises
The sea consumes
The sea doesn’t give back
You’ll fear a never coming fire after you hear your cousin burnt alive and hide from the smoke you don’t inhale.
The sea rises
The sea consumes
The sea doesn’t give back
When you looked
