Healing

9/16/2021

 
I look to Mother Nature to guide me in healing
No matter the joy or the sorrow I'm feeling
I look to the sun to give me its light
Making the world below it come alive, so beautiful and bright
I listen to the world waking up in the morning
The wind as it dances, the birds as they're singing
She is waking us up in the most magnificient way
Giving us peace and magic to start our day
I think about the earth and what it means to me
It meant to be empathetic, caring, and free
To protect Mother Earth is to protect all of us
But to damage Mother Earth is to damage all of us
We must cherish everything she provides for this planet
The people, the plants, and animals on it
These are what create our beautiful mornings
We must not ignore her signs and her warnings
She provides us these joys so we can learn to give
To prosper under her beauty, to thrive and to live
How do you find beauty in all her creations?

Wake up

As of now, there is no place for optimism in environmentalism
Ignorance is no longer an option
We need to be more fearful of our future

For Her

Know not of the raging wildfires that engulf the earth in flames
When it comes to the planet we fall for politicians' games
The biggest lie we are ever told is that no individual action of ours could ever be bold
Bold enough to clean the oceans or reduce our fossil fuels 
That standing up for what you believe in is not considered cool 
Politicians use these lies in fear of one thing:
They are terrified of the change we will bring.
Every motion, every step
Every action that you take makes the idealism of money and corruption break 
When we speak up and boycott big corporations, it will be our generation taking over the nation
​If 10 years now is all we have left, we cannot let these lies get away with theft
Theft of our voice, our power, our change
The beauty of this world is not out of range
Stand up, speak up. You have a voice. 
These big corporations are just the white noise 
Every time you speak out a new flower of optimism begins to sprout
Plant a seed and watch it grow
Your passion will blossom more than you know
The change you make will soar for miles, and for all your frowns hold onto your smiles
There are people that will judge and people that will hate
But you know it is beauty that you will create.

I can feel you slipping away as time passes by 
Knowing there's nothing I can do, but doing everything to try
You are caving and breaking and because of what we are taking
I have nothing to say except...
I'm sorry
Sorry we destroyed your beauty that was given unconditionally 
Sorry we took the gifts you gave but it was really greed that we received
Sorry for rendering lifeless some of your most beautiful creations
When you gave us the gift of life, we gave you impatience
and all that you ever did was surround us with your everlasting grace
But I will fight for you forever because I love you so
And I will give you the ability again to spread your wings and grow
​Mother Nature, we are sorry.

    I have always found that poetry has a special way of building a connection to the world around me, especially environmental poems. Here, I share my poetry about mother earth.
