Luminous sun touches the hair of a girl Looking in a mirror and she sees herself As she watches a girl covered in earth and ground And the bleeding ground is writhing ‘round The scene is overlooked by spectators and sky Ominous clouds inspect the scene below And down falls their capricious content from high And upon the heads and minds of these onlookers Signs of the effect of the fickle rain Like alcohol flowing through their pensive blood Which flows from their flooded hearts and intoxicates brains Atrocious fluid now shrouding their thoughts Onlookers now cursed by binding fluids and tainted rain As the society of watchful and controlled eyes views The young girl fighting through ground’s assault in pain All obscured by preconceived ideals and illogical norms Yet still sprouts a young sapling from below The sun which touched the girl touches green And rises forth in offense to the sky And hence ceases that abhorrent flow, sky now serene As nature again has healed the numerous And the girl covered in earth sees the sights Now steady and controlled she nods And her image is now clear and gorgeous The earth and ground, hence, were not impairing Nor the shrouded minds of onlookers Nor the bleeding sores soil caused in her skin Nor the harrowing rain, poison bearing But the omission of Mother Earth as a potent savior As herbaceous growth hath saved the scene And if only our earth could ever dream to be As thoughtful and pensive and as perfectly serene For the plant grows and feeds and feels As the girl grows and feeds and feels As the spectators grow and feed and feel Yet these could not ever dream to be so real |
