The Earth Speaks the Truth

The Earth speaks to the sky

The air fights the trees

The willow cries

And the river flees


The fire rages on

The smoke hugs the cloud

The lightning stabs the ground

And the Earth is proud


The rocks are chiseled

The rain skydives

And the forests celebrate

The beginning of new lives


The tears flow down

The face of a broken soul

Longing to be free

Longing to be whole


They leave abruptly

Taking everything with them

Leaving behind the broken hearts

Of those who most overcome


The life left behind

Blossoms like never before

Because life and happiness

Is what they want to ensure


The trees are torched

Making way for the others to grow

The bodies lie still

And the strong souls show


With loss

Comes love

With loss

Comes life
