I`m Sure I Heard The Earth Cry

Contributed by ValDohren on Sunday, 28th October 2012 @ 06:13:10 AM in AEST
Topic: DreamsandWishes

Whilst standing on a hilltop high
I heard the strangest sound
It echoed through the valleys
And drifted o`er the ground

It murmured, wistful, in the stream
And whispered through the trees
Stilled and lingering in the caves
Soft ushered by the breeze

I felt a stirring in my breast
A pain within my heart
Which filled me with great sorrow
And tore my soul apart

I`m sure I heard the earth cry, deep
Within my fettered mind
A haunting voice inside me
Spoke through these eyes so blind

"I`ve cradled every one of you
In tenderness, so pure and true
Protecting each from pain and strife
A beauteous haven for your life"

"To nurture you is all I know
Helping each to live and grow
As kindred souls upon this sphere
As one, in peace, and free from fear"

"And yet you choose to torture me
Destroy my land, defile my sea
With hate, and ever growing greed
You trample down each tiny seed”

Then as the rain, like tears, spilled down
I heard her sad lament
Resounding through the universe
Such fearful discontent

"Oh when will man, with open eyes
Behold the splendour in the skies
To gently spread a healing hand
Across my hurt and ravaged land"

"And when will he become the balm
To hold my troubled waters calm
And soothe my trembling countenance
Upon my fields to laugh and dance"

This dream, with you, I hold within
Sweet earth, for this I know
That if we choose to tread this path
Then love will cease to grow

And step by step, each passing day
Will take us surely on
Towards the end of glory, and
Towards the dying sun

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
