Poetry - As The World Burns

Hello,

Beloveds.

I'd like to share with you today a poem that I wrote recently.

Thus,

I was out in nature,

Spending time with the trees,

The river,

The birds,

And being soothed by that,

When it feels like the world is on fire.

As the world burns.

As the world burns,

Oh,

Sweet river,

Sacred waters,

Soothe this aching heart.

As the earth wails and spirit roars,

Hold me softly in your cool embrace.

As my brothers and sisters murder,

And my brothers and sisters are murdered,

Please gently marry my sacred tears with yours.

As we plunge deeper and deeper into the depths of despair,

Please remind me,

Tender stream,

That all waters eventually return to the sea.

As the fire rages within and without,

Please offer your sweet nectar to temper the flames.

As I long for union,

For remembrance,

For all,

Please gently guide me along the way.
