Mother Nature Implores

mother nature formed billow white,

and entered gracefully into the night.

she tumbled & toppled & twisted without sound,

and rose higher and father away from the ground.

while high above ~the entire world

she cried~ & couldn't understand

why so many horrors invaded & twirled.

~she needed a helping hand.

she turned her left shoulder to behold the moondust glow

and projected to her a slideshow

of the mud down below

where the lotus flower is waiting to grow.

she showed:

the water~ too much & not enough,

the sea~ when violent & rough.

people who harvested the whale,

like air as it's inhaled.

plastic straw in the nose of a sea turtle.

hypodermics -a pincushion shore.

women still wore an iron girdle,

and Nations -in endless war.

people unkind & cruel to their own brother,

cheating & thieving & fighting each other.

bullets rivet theaters & school-time hours

peaceful protests- gone -like the twin towers.

the tribes were flanked & snuffed in the white

and their lands mined with disruption

taking away- their God. given. right

and contributing to the earth's destruction.

the koala didn't have a home.

the forests were on fire.

the white rhinos were all alone,

and the winds didn't retire.

roofs were blown off buildings in the cities, -sending shockwave emission

through ozone remission

and hyperintensities submission.

tusks of ivory for trinkets -cheap.

both - black & white also reaped.

both - red & blue where did their honor keep?

meetings had- and people slept-

how the mother's wept

when the children were afraid of all the hate

and taught by watching others berate.

little ones missing, but still present.

poverty -rampant.

people lived stoned & high,

no middle way did reside.

there were rbi eyes

of spies

like flies

on the walls

of the languid halls.

mother nature implored

to the Goddess of the pagan lore,

"how can we restore

& heal my inner core?"

"look down," she said, "and you will understand.

you will see my white-light spectrum through my earthly hands."

rich in brown & green,

reaching for love unseen

in the red ringed maize centered sun

as it hung below

the spectacular sky show

of the smokey true

lilac blue.

the Goddess spoke of the bungle,

in the jungle

where the shy horse will neigh

and proudly say,

"freedom & justice."

like Adelaide's face

a vision you can't replace....

who

away from the crowd,

spoke aloud,

in a voice proud,

"equality and love for all!"

see the truth in the snow leo-pard and black panther place,

where the sleepy cat yawns

and peep frogs were borne.

she smiled, winked, and said:

"the white light was a rhetorical device, to wrap it up sweet & nice,

all together,

down the middle way....

~mindfulness will save the day!"

"see the peaceful vision i show you now,

and wipe the fret from your brow.

just clear the mud from your hands,

be humble, respectful, and wise.

lean on each other and heal the lands,

with sympathetic & compassionate eyes.

face your suffering and fears together

and you will withstand any weather.

what you do to one, you do to the other."

"please, i ask you kindly, to understand this:

be impeccable with your word & you will not go amiss....

for we are all reflections, with undeniable connections."
