Earth Day Challenge Does Anyone Ever Really Stop To Think? What if the sun with it’s mighty light and warmth that is the catalyst for everything alive did not shine, because it just didn’t want to! What if the moon with its soft luminous light that shows us the way through the darkness of the night decide just to turn away? What if the trees mighty and majestic that provides us the unseen air that we breath and need to sustain life just simply vanish? What if the animal kingdom so importune to our growth physically and our well being just up and walk away? What if the water upon the surface of the earth decided to disappear and not share its life sustaining force just because it was tired of being polluted and abused? Well just as we have been given the rights to decide what paths we shall walk through in our lives, so too has nature the right to re-invoke her gracious gifts that sustain our well being. By, Cerenity This poem may appear quiet simple in nature, but the true reality is that we have chose to turn our heads and look the other way when it comes to this planet of ours. We have missed that in which is right in front of us all every day of our lives and that is our earth also has the freedom of choice to quit and not one soul on its surface will have a ligament argument. Yes one person can make a small difference but in the matter at hand it is going to take all of the inhabitants of this planet to keep it. The sad reality is that most of the time there is always those who simply do not care and these are the ones that will be crying the loudest in the end.

Cerenity, this poem is so true. Nature is already turning her back on us. We have a lot of work to do, to correct things. The unfortunate thing is there is still too much greed, it wlll take alot to change our thinking patterns. These same companies that put out commercials for this or that cause, are polluting us behind our backs. They are poisoning our food with things that they are not even willing to label on their packages. The simplest cheapest solution is what they go for, who cares if it hurts humans, or animals, or the environment. They wont be around when it all falls down. It our childrens problem. Its our children that will die, or maybe they will learn from our stupidity and correct all our mistakes. For sure we are not makeing it easy for them. Great poem, for Earth Day. Parker |

Cerenity~ Such truth in what you say. The age-old spirits of ~Mother Earth~ and ~Father Sky~ are weary with our neglect. Will it ever be turned back to the time before all the progress? Let us pray it is so. Wonderful thoughts, friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

HAPPY EARTH DAY CERENITY  BTTT Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
