Last night
on her way home
the moon
scrawled a scream
across my wall
Her goodbye message
wasn't clear
though I heard the echo
in my bones
felt the fates
whispering fire
& blood
There would be
no more trees
for ten million years
a bad day
for humans
in the saga of Earth
but with 99 per cent of species
perished already
& no will to save our work
it was time for Nature
to press her reset button
time to start out
fresh
on her way home
the moon
scrawled a scream
across my wall
Her goodbye message
wasn't clear
though I heard the echo
in my bones
felt the fates
whispering fire
& blood
There would be
no more trees
for ten million years
a bad day
for humans
in the saga of Earth
but with 99 per cent of species
perished already
& no will to save our work
it was time for Nature
to press her reset button
time to start out
fresh

whoa. i felt a conviction in this piece, the same as a prophet would have in a vision he was voicing to the people. i guess that's what this is meant to be, but here, i got a rush from my head down and almost couldn't read fast enough. felt the mechanics properly on the second read. had to have it.

Sorry baby, still tweaking
"& no will to save our work" added to S2.
I'll leave it be now.
I know I could turn this into a really long poem
but the longer I think about it the more powerless I start to feel - too much of an energy drain.
Thanks for your support, Jax
