When light shines forth upon the world
and all in awe bow down
there’ll be a fluttering of fear
within the bowels of earth.

She’s come to know, you see,
the footsteps, sadness, tears,
so long in residence upon
the outskirts of her life.

She’ll murmur softly, gently,
and tremble slightly so
unknowing that her fear of loss
will beget more suffering.

And when she knows she’ll strike a pose
of feigned indifference
and proceed undaunted with the chore
of birthing happiness.

But such is happiness to be
something that dances temporarily
and those in empathy with earth
will again light up the sky.

From this to that and back again
and earth each time gets closer to
a state of fearlessness
at losing what she’s come to know!

Thank you Margherita, Sunkissed and rosepetals. Glad you enjoyed.

JL - How lovely to see you here. SA isn't doing too well - nurses and teachers are on strike with the attendant violence and personally it's not too great either. We survive though - until we don't.

Hope all is well with you.

Thanks, JL. I am fortunately far from the strike activity but some of the results of that activity have been heartbreaking. The sad thing is that life goes on and we forget.
