in a tremble of thought
grievance for her lost
endlessly she sought
what, to her own cost
earthshaking, her cry
hopeful, not in vain
as her numbers die
left within her pain
when a mother cries
her tears to be heard
heed the one that tries
to translate to word ...

"she is all we know
to have and behold
our mother must show
our errors untold"

*~ ** ~*

for the one Mother we all share -
Mother Earth

A good earth write, Craig.
She shakes and tears often.
Good to read you, hello again.

hey...this is so true, and you've said it so well....thrilled to see you posting

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding
