This is one of my old favorites...Being the perfectionist that I am, I slightly revised this one a tiny bit...anyways, I hope y'll enjoy it!

The wind is blowing
and dark clouds, is showing.
Like an angry beast, the sky growls,
with more fierceness, than a wolf's growl.
Lightning is streaking across the skies,
with such a passion that belies.
The earth must be mad at someone
cause, she's brought out dark clouds
and covered up the sun.
Her heart, must be filled with grief and pain
because, the dark clouds,
is fixing to release the rain.
My heart goes out to mother earth
because, I love her
and I came from her dirt.
Man, what a crisis, I hate to see her like this
as my heart, is filled with such sadness
and my soul, is trapped in a whirlpool of blackness.
The wind velocity has increased
as, the clouds look like black sheets.
The lightning has extended to the ground
as the thunder, has reached deafning sounds.
Finally, the rain is pouring from the skies
as all the pain, ventilations, and frustrations,
is steadily pouring from her eyes.
And all of her emotions, are pouring down on me,
causing me to feel, more downbeat.
Man, I feel like dying
and I'm not lying
cause, mother earth,
is deeply hurt,
and she's crying.

today the earth is crying
and each and every star
has teardrops strung through beads of light
from near as far as far
today the moon is weeping
and shadows in the sky
are clouds filled up with tear filled sadness
in wails of wonder why
i am in the constellations
reflections of the tears
my chest torn out
my heart apart
by jabs and jolts of spears
i'm crying with the earth today
i'm crying with the moon
the universe is crying
i sing its mournful tune.....


thank you for the read.... sorry to piggyback on you... your verse was lovely
