Make earth a safe retreat

Make earth a safe retreat

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

We live in a world of chaos, but it can be a safe retreat

"

In the beginning we never knew teardrops,
We were the fashion becoming new,
God’s creation brought the raindrops,
And the sky in heaven turned blue.

We only knew the innocence of gender,
Stretched far back into unbending distance,
Beginning our characteristics and behavior,
The experiment brought new science.

Paused in the realm; waiting for life to begin,
Something’s in weakness can be strength,
The embryo of transplant intent stood waiting,
To oblige in the steps of unknown spirit. 

Jagged thoughts in age more entrenched,
But hopes springs the proposing grace,
waste Began the twist of nature on a bizarre road,
With new creation to find a continuous race.

Cold calculated chaos began misgiving,
In the beginning opulence of the ozone was lost,
Temptation found the garden surrendering,
Rain forest rescue the existence of a pertinent cost.

The melting of creation suffer rejection and abuse,
And demise took a ride in ungainly pursuit,
we found hope to reconstruct the skills once refuse,
In defeat we are trying to make earth a safer retreat.
