A Mother With A Broken Heart 20lines

A Mother With A Broken Heart

Listen to the unfurling of the leaves
Hear the rustle of the insects wings
Share the same breath as the creatures

Seeing every pine needle as it shines
Every dewy mist in the darken woods
All flowered clearings in hidden places

All sharing the rich life giving breath
We all walk on the same fertile ground
Our hearts do not hear the same sounds

Do we hear the warnings in the wind
She sheds soft tears as some disappear
Sadly we never cherished her bounty

Of all creatures we are never satisfied
We have always craved more and more
Stripping away the very ground we tread

Man is merely a strand in the web of life
What he does to the web he does to himself
She is truly a Mother with a broken heart
