Formations of rock surveying the scene
stand firm near the edge of approaching winter
vulnerable and exposed to man’s evil ways
and saddened by how a person can change.

But if I walk down to the base of it all
and gently embrace the visible truth
layers and layers confirm and bear out
the intensely emotional upheaval of earth.

And then was created another good place
with diligent care to the gift of free will
to enable the testing and assessing
of sincerity, honour, empathy, love.

Today the rocks stand a paradise lost
like a woman alive without a good man
alone but strong to suffer the sun
and not turn away from the wind.

Where are the lovers?  They’ve gone everyone
to pointless realms of electronic release
to gain and acquire the meaningless, false,
and upturn foundations of physical love.

And the sea one day will rise up to hide
the signs and symbols of faithfulness, trust,
and the trees will appear to grow from the sea
in the inexplicable manner of life.

But not today, tomorrow, next week,
for time still needs time to grow into love
and cease its endeavours of inspiration
unfounded on truth into many ears.

The universe whispers, I hear and believe,
that time should stand still, remember the feel,
and recall again how such intense energy
upturned the world for a reason, a cure.

And when it is known, will time then deliver
a warning and caution to the sea not to rise
and trees not to think they can live forever
on shaky foundations of improper love?

When it is know it may be too late,
too late to reverse an intolerable fate.

Thank you LeeJ - it's always good to have hope but it does depend what one is hoping for. Some things just aren't meant to be.

Thank you Sadie - we mustn't reflect too long in case we get burnt by all that's wrong.

Helen

You always give me good reason to think, of things maybe felt but not fashioned into words. Thank you.

Thanks for the read Martie. I'm not sure if thinking is a good thing or not but I, myself, don't have any control over it. It just happens.

Brilliant stanza above! Honeybunch, I think the frequency has been turned up this week -- but, the problem is...... we have no idea of what that kind of love really is. Great write.....I enjoyed your ponderings.
