The wind has blown the candle out As mem'ry fades away A lonely cricket creaks about The only one who stayed She sits beneath the broken planks Of what was once her home A river overflowed its banks And left a girl alone The flood has come and gone and then The town has not returned They all packed up and left just when A ravished Earth grew stern Abuse and hate had took its toll The Earth began to fight Against the scorn that raped her Soul She only did what's right Away they ran, so full of fear Of what they all deserved Except one girl, whos sense of sheer Loyalty was preserved An innocent, she'd done no wrong And she loved Nature so She never could have left for long Without regret and woe Unspoken thought transcends all talk of love and devotion Together girl and goddess walk Instict and emotion Its now been years since they left her She's never missed them, since The company that she prefers Is Nature, her goddess.
Reason for writing:
Sometimes verses leak out of me and I have to sop them up with paper, to paraphrase William John Watkins. I've got more of my poems <a href= http://www.angelfire.com/wi/fishinthesky>here</a>, and of course comments are always welcome.
