Spiraling spirit...Earth

Take head they would say. 

Maybe they would laugh tell us we have not been wise, 

point out how somewhere along the way humans decided to be blind.

we closed our eyes, stopped seeing signs. 

Stopped believing that we could. 

Stopped trying. 

Maybe because of all the crying.

our earth is crying we chose not to hear. 

No way to catch the first rock in a rock slide, 

and it has begun. 

Our forests infested with beetles, a thousand standing dead trees....they will burn. 

Intense fire that leaves the ground useless for seeds. A fire that leaves deserts in it wake. 

All plants will suffer, turning them from carbon absorbing machines into machines that will

release more carbon into our atmosphere.

Then the storms will come, fed by the melting ice pushing warm water towards the ocean

surface, feeding the storms.

Red algae will flourish. Turning the waters of our oceans red.

Earths system will start changing,

it will be the blood of our earth that will turn our rivers red, as the iron core dies. 

Mountains will crumble from lack of foundation, from dry winds that will cover everything in dust.

Maybe some will see it coming and our race will survive. 

It's not too late to see. We can ease the way for our Mother Earth..evolve with her if we open our eyes and listen to her cries.

what the spirit needs the spirit attains. Our earth spirit is attained in our children's eager minds, in their will to survive and their hearts. 

Teach truth. Teach them to have compassion. To connect to the earth the sky and each other. The earth delights in their tiny footsteps upon the ground.
