The Absence of Light

The crust of darkness seeps into the earth
As the sun god RA claims his royal throne
The mighty torch since eons of our birth
Is dimmed by the minions of a sacred home

Purity the gift of a kind and giving god
Abundance the wealth, once never in doubt.
Forsaken is the life, greed has lain to rot
The garden of the light, ignore its silent shout

Time rushes to prepare the royal wake,
As the tears of the gods, gather on this night,
Prayers from the heavens, as our air dissolves to space
A God shines no more, in this absence of life.

I had a feeling our voice of consciousness
would speak to us today
As always you leave us with food for thought.
Happy Earth day P-man...
mother earth always loved you the most   lol

Hi Parker

Almost brought one of mine back today too, for the earth, and the thought of you.  I'm glad to see that you did.

Thanks all for replying. Nothing is ever too small if it helps our mother Earth. So protect her, write about her and love her...for she is not replacable.
