In the Gale
Standing quite proudly
Withstanding nature’s pressure
Emancipated
The Healing
Our spirit requires softness and presence ensuring calm
The journeys of others offer hope and inspiration
As the cost of survival bids us farewell, relinquished pain reveals freedom
Peace be with you
Goodness
Humanity shines
When uprightness embodied
Within mankind’s soul
I’m Sorry, Gaia
Mother cries to us, but we hear not.
She laments as we wail in misfortune.
And she…
Instinctually responds
As humanity destroys our cocoon of existence.
