Here, where I stand
My toes do not grow roots
Nor do fingers branch out to fondle a stray cloud
Apocalyptic delays
But only a stone's throw away
Beyond that last mile my feet wished to tread
My mind sings in some weird claustrophobic notes
Would reach out, if I could
And cast in stone, these songs
That I sing and strive to forget
My only legacy to Gaia
My toes do not grow roots
Nor do fingers branch out to fondle a stray cloud
Apocalyptic delays
But only a stone's throw away
Beyond that last mile my feet wished to tread
My mind sings in some weird claustrophobic notes
Would reach out, if I could
And cast in stone, these songs
That I sing and strive to forget
My only legacy to Gaia
the mother earth crying its plight:(
ReplyDeleteYes, we do not realize the extent of damage we have done and still continue to do to our home planet. Maybe, that will be our civilization's ultimate legacy - an apocalypse.
DeleteThe stone and concrete barriers that we put between ourselves and mother earth.. I think we cause a lot of damage to both ourselves and all other.. maybe we should put our faith in dandelions breaking stones apart.
