The Long Forgotten Heart

mother earth has been forgotten.

 In silent nights it can be heard

Deep within the dark

The softly beating pulse of the long forgotten heart

The night is still as death and cold

Winds have yet to stir

To never interrupt the heart’s softly sounding purr

The moon crawls through the night’s dark web

Escaping the sway

The heart’s beat murmurs steadily into growing day

Time spawns man from fertile soil

To maim, kill, and sin

And the earth lies forgotten outside the laws of men

So the beat slows, then grows softer

Purring slow and weak

And the long forgotten heart will cease its steady beat

Brilliant still.

It was one of the best poems I've ever read. I agree with the meaning behind it. What a beautiful yet sad poem you have written. The reason its so sad is because its true.

This is so beautiful, and sad.
