Earth
A Minute Poem from Versified Darkness
The cries you hear are from an earth
that’s giving birth,
replenishing -
let nature bring.
The sheltered sun escapes the pain,
drying again
the tearful ground
our lives have drowned.
The sky above forges a deal
with earth - to heal
what man alone
has overthrown.
