We Weep

 

Come humans
come join with me
all my bothers and sisters
earth’s creatures

turn off your gadgets
your cell phones off
your video games
your computers
your movies
your TV’s

turn off your static

come to the forests
come to the fertile valleys
come to the rolling planes
come to the mountains
come to the oceans
stand with us
quietly

look

listen

what you will see
is magnificent perfection

what you will hear
is our weeping

    1. Thank you Sherry. I will continue weeping and warning with my words, as long as I am able to form them. I love this magnificent natural world we are blessed with, and I am righteous pissed at those who abuse and destroy it. I sometimes feel I am calling into a vacuum.

  1. In the silence of this evening, the wolf’s howl needs to be revisited again and again, to send delicious chills down the spine… *smiles*

  2. Ha – I think if we just turned off the electronic devices and went for a walk in nature, we would experience a different world filled with life. I take a walk everyday rain or shine, just to breathe in nature and all it’s wonder.

    so sad, the sound of our weeping – yes, I can hear it at times.

  3. “turn off your gadgets” ~~ a resounding amen to that! Taking breaks from the noise of everyday life feels sooooooo good. Cheers.
