At the edge of life
I stand in awe
of the coming dawn
Colors there in sapphire hues
Shades of purples
and cerulean blues

Is this the end of perfection morn
Where midnight songs from
dreams were born?

The techno buttons pushed askew
ask the question
why don’t you?

And in answer we say just
because we can
because we must

Tomorrow’s dawn may not come
in spatial time
for all to see
Who will we blame this demise?
Blaming you?
Blaming me?

Can perfection of time and space
be left alone
here in this place

Step back seems to hard to do

What is this world coming
to?

Out of time
out of care
take back the dawn
if you dare

Give the generations on their way
one more reason
to greet
break of day

Since I had grandkids, the damage we are doing to this earth has become the most important thing I face each day, as it concerns me for their sake.  So sad.

A great poem and a very important message - loved it.

Thank you all for reading my poor attempt to make a statement...for some reason it hit me as I watched the fires here in Florida that there is only one earth..it's our home and it's all we've got!! So unless they open up Jupiter for condos, we're stuck here so we better take care of it!

I watch the news every morning, Sharon, and  think the same thoughts...wondering how  and if the next generations will be able to enjoy this earth.

Nice to read you,
M

PoetDeVine~
Condos on Jupiter ... what a wonderful thought~

Yep ... we've got this one Heaven we call EARTH .. and we treat her as a red-headed stepchild~

Praying we will learn so that others may be taught~

Nice to see you penning~

Poet de Vine,

That should be a "too" in:

"Step back seems to hard to do"

aa in:

"Step back seems too hard to do"


Might as well get it right.
