Gaia what has our world come to

 photo GAIA_zps36444c78.jpg


The texture of soil against palm


The crashing of ocean against rock


Gaia my creator I can feel your presence


Drift me away to the promise land


Unite heart with ancestors leave flesh behind


 

The tranquility in the air


Like your breath upon my cheek


Gaia you have raised me


A son of yours grown into a man


In your name O' protector of land



 

Sleep takes me on journeys


To find your subtle touch


Gaia goddess of the universe


Balance the boundaries


Between heaven and earth



 

In the gale of the storm


I feel your anguish


Gaia destroyer of time


Confide in me your child


For it is our fault forgive us



 

Failure to understand your loving plan


Take me aboard your starry skies


Gaia celestial constellations for eyes


Show me the world you envisioned


Let me speak your tongue so all can understand


 

Gaia Have mercy on us save our land.

Author's Note

KeeD
The poet introduces nature as the creation of Gaia (Creator of the Universe). He then pleads with her to take him up to heaven so he can talk to the goddess about the way her beautiful creations have gone corrupt. He asks Goddess Gaia to show him a way to stop the destruction and save the world.

I don't see anything that should be changed, this is precious. I just witnessed a humble conversation between man, and a higher power. Whatever we believe in and worship, the hour will come when we will feel the need to ask for mercy...the God I believe in will deliver me from damnation. The Goddess you write of...she's an entity that lives in all of us. We have the ability to create and destroy...but we abuse it...Gaia begot Mother earth...so we are responsible for her babe. If we destroy it...we destroy the Goddess within us and anger the God that rules above us.

She is so fertile, and such a green, and blue sky mother... :) this was a beautiful serene write, and ode to our gaia. I truly enjoyed the selfless factor of it. For you're humble because you came out of the earth, and you're touched by it's purity. Fantastic.

Always good to see our youth one with the universe. There is so much more to life others fail to see while ignorance becomes their bliss. Excellent read and write.

I love that. Very powerful images to start with. Maybe try ending with images just as powerful and tangible. You're a very effective writer. I could almost smell the Earth as I read it. Another brilliant piece.

I'll try to cook up something for a powerful ending :D thanks for supporting my passion! < 3
We all need mercy and to know the truth of our eternal existence after this world is done. Your writing is exquisite Kee, a true poet.

Thank you Kee :)
This is great! I love the concept and the meter problem is non-existant. The cadence reminds me of an ancient prayer. Good work.
