MY CHILDREN (THE EARTH SPEAKS)
ABOUT THIS POEM:
This poem is what I feel the Earth is saying to the human race as a whole. She is sick and need our help to help cure her. If we do not help her out, then we will all pay a very dear price. So I try to “speak” for her here.
My children,
All my beautiful children
I love each and every one of you
But I have a message for you all
So please listen closely
For OUR survival is at stake
Especially yours
Millenniums ago I was formed
I was complete in every way
All my waters were clear
An so full of life
My air was clean and fresh
My forests covered so much land
And were filled with my creatures
Then The Creator made you from me
And as I welcomed more and more of you
Through the centuries of time
I gave my all to you all
Like any good mother would
And like a child that depends on its mother
You have relied on me
But you have taken too much from me
And given back very little
Now I hurt and am in pain
The delicate balance of my systems
Is no longer
Large amounts of my waters are now dirty and toxic
And the life in them is vanishing fast
The air that supports your very existence
Helps to cause some of you pains
Vast forests that once made me even more splendid
Have disappeared
Along with the creatures that lived in them
My temperature grows warmer by the years
Upsetting my systems even more
My children
Oh my precious children
Your needs, your wants, your desires
Have made me sick
Now that my perfect balance is no longer
My systems grow wrathful
My climate patterns that helped you so much
Now hurt and even destroy you
I have no wish to hurt any of you
For I love you all
But you must heal yourselves
Before you can begin to heal me
Why should I suffer because of your progress? Your greed?
My children,
My lovely children
Please listen to me when I speak
For I fear my cries are going unheard by most of you
As a whole, you cannot afford to ignore me any longer
For again, your survival depends upon my survival
And one day your bodies will come back to me
While your spirits will return to The Creator
And I will “tell him” what each of you has done for me
And to me
LOVE EACH OTHER (THE STUPIDITY OF RACISM)
ABOUT THIS POEM:
In this poem I wanted to tell how dumb racism in all its forms is. Racism has divided humanity among so many lines, and when and where it divides, it has conquered. Racism is the root cause behind some of history’s great wars. (The American Civil War and World War II come to mind.) And once again, The Earth has to endure this plague upon her lands.
My children
All my darling children
Please pay heed to the words
Of one of my children
For some of the reasons why you dislike one another
Make no sense to me
And this has caused you and I
Great pain and suffering and much death
Please my children do this for me
My brother and my sister
Outside, I may not look like you
But inside, I am just like you
Our hearts beat
Our blood is red
Our lungs breathe
We live and we love
So why cannot we love each other
As brothers? As sisters?
Why must we let differences
In color
In race
In religion
In money
In location
In talk
In work
In clothes
In cars
And so much more separate us?
I look at you and I see
My human brother
My human sister
My human neighbor
My human friend
Are we not all sharing one beautiful planet?
One planet with different parts all working together
So as the Earth sets the example of working together as one
Why cannot we as humans do the same?
The Earth moves and exists in wisdom
For wisdom and nature move as one
But racism exposes the stupidity of humanity
It is taught
It is learned
It is read
It is spoken
It is then unleashed
With dire, and even fatal results
Racism divides, then conquers
It lives and then it kills
The destroyer of dreams
The slayer of hopes
The murderer of justice
My brothers and my sisters
All over the world
I plead to you
Open your hearts and your minds
To your brothers and sisters
Who are not like you outside
But inside are the same as you
Open your hand to another
As a friend
As a fellow human being
For when racism goes then love flows
Judge not by the outer
But what the inner character is
Like Dr. King dreamed
And maybe one day
His dream will be all of ours
Thank you my brother…my sister
My friend
THE LADY AND THE PIANO
ABOUT THIS POEM:
The idea for this poem came from two places. The first being the singer Alicia Keys. After watching a video of her playing the piano as she was singing, I wondered if I could write a poem about her as she played. But no words came to mind. However, I knew my subconscious would give me something soon.
Some time later, I was watching a rerun of the TV show “Cheaters®” one afternoon. The story was about a lady from Poland (She also may have been Russian, but I am not sure) who was being cheated on by her boyfriend. She just happened to be a piano player. As she was telling her story, the show cut away to another scene, in which she was playing the piano. That scene caught my eye for she looked so elegant and so passionate as she played. I then thought about when I watched Alicia Keys play also and suddenly my subconscious kicked into high gear and gave me the words I was at a loss for earlier. Words that you will soon read.
Gazing in adoration at…
A woman so pretty
A lady so beautiful
As she plays the piano
My heart fills with delight
My ears are filled with sweet music
My imagination is so mesmerized
Look as her fingers glide with little effort
Across the keys so gracefully they dance
So light, yet so firm is her touch
I wonder what her thoughts are as she plays?
Thoughts of a touch so tender that she wants?
Thoughts of a kiss so deep that she desires?
Her body sways gently with the rhythm
A smooth motion caused by her lovely sound
I watch her in total fascination
In admiration of her skill
In awe of her spirit
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart
In the footsteps of the great ones
She now follows
For she plays with their same passion
But she loves with even more passion
For she plays the way she loves
With confidence, with romance
For what is in her heart comes out fully
Dreamy lady,
Your love of the piano
Is so special, so unique
You have filled many lives with joy
And with inspiration
May I speak for all who adore you
And say “thank you so very much”
Forevermore
THE UNFOLDING OF THE TWO
ABOUT THIS POEM:
On the first page of this site, I mentioned how a musician named John Serrie composed 2 CD's titled "Midsummer Century" and "Ixlandia" in 1993 and 1995. These CD's main subject is how time and love come together. The music is very soothing and relaxing and I strongly invite you to have a listen to them. It was these two CD's that inspired me to write a series of 5 poems that deal with time and love. This poem is the FIRST in that series.
Across the mists of time
Through the limitless power of love
We have met...and loved
Reflections of centuries passed
And on the shores of a distant land
Our love existed
With our footprints traced in the timeline of eternity
Our souls merged into the oneness of love
The mystery of our future destiny began
As a love for the ages entwines into forever
As time and space begins the unfolding
of the two of us
For I have loved you, as you have loved me
I unfold what I have felt of your love
Through the eons of time
The vastness of time, the deepness of love
The Two also begins their magnificent unfolding
Inside our hearts
The love of two hearts spans the greatness of time
The knowing that we have loved before in our minds
We welcome the unfolding
THE OTHER
ABOUT THIS POEM:
This is the THIRD poem in the series of 5 which has to do with time and love. Tell me what you think of this.
As I stand at my side of the chasm
And you stand at yours
I feel you...I know you are there
And you feel me too
But great distances separate us
But we each know we must enter this great void
If we are to meet...and love
Which will win...fear or the power of love?
I know what my heart feels
As I step forward
Yet I wonder: Has she stepped forward too?
Has she overcame her fear of this unknown deepness?
Is the pull on her heart as strong as mine?
Does she have the courage
To step forward as I have?
Moving cautiously within the void
It takes over my very being
Thrown about by it's unforgiving nature
Always challenging my mind
Frustrates all my efforts...to find you
In this magnificent quest of the heart
The void will test us, deny us, fail us
However persistence & determination will win for us
For they will help to unite our hearts
In love
Inside space and time
We meet
I see you, know you, love you
My heart sings joyful thanks
For your leap of faith too
For the void has done to you what it has done to me
This chasm of lifes circumstances& experiences
Had changed our hearts and minds
With it's relentless testings
Making our love stronger
And now, across the eternal expanse of time
To the center of our lives today
We are now in love with
The Other
TO GIVE TO YOU
ABOUT THIS POEM:
I took some of my favorite things about nature and made them into this poem. To me, nature is the greatest inspiration for writing. Do you agree?
If I could. . . .
I would take the petals from a rose so red
The tint of the ocean, so deep and blue
A ray from the sun, bright and yellow
Wrap them all in my love, and give it to you
I would gather the colors from the elusive rainbow
Some drops of moisture, from the morning dew
The pleasant sounds of a soft summer rain
Bundle them with my love, and give it to you
I would take a beam from the full moon so bright
The glow from a thousand stars, born anew
A tender moment or two, from space and time
Group them with so much love, and give it to you
The devotion of lovebirds, snuggled so close
The passion of two lovers, alone together
Honor, respect, adoration in our hearts so true
We could give all these things to each other, forever.
