Earth Weeps
The earth steeped
in destruction and alienation,
dreamt of
the warm kiss from
past morning suns
fringed by dewy rainbows.
She longed for
the golden moon
to fall across her chest.
Visions of fragrant blossoms
mixed with green leaves
and budding sprouts
occupied her dreams.
She longed for the
tiny footprints of
furry woodland creatures
to tickle her belly again.
Weeping with sorrow,
the earth dreamt
her children had returned
to honor and look after her.
