Sea Serpent's Song
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
The crashing of the waves 
the ultimate test of time
the soaking stance we stand by the shores
is up to us
will we listen to the oasis of the wind and sea
the earth and its sun stricken surface
stare up at the sky 
and think how amazing it truly is as over 7 billion 
people alone stare at the same sky
as the song of nature 
lifts them up and drifts them all to bed
the serpent of the sea approaches as the tides
becoming a demon of many people fears
as it washes man made structures into the sea 
to join Alantis once more
the Serpent of the sea is nothing of misery 
but a man made monster as it protects 
all the freedom we all choose as mankind to maintain 
its by our side 
as we choose it before our own greed 
and the tides will always play the serpents song
embracing the earth with its salty grasp
to reach out 
so please choose
do you rebuke it 
or 
treasure your time to it

Gift of Gaia
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
A loving mother some state
a barrier of truth lies in these words 
the rest lie in the maintainer of that reality

Earth does not need us to survive 
but the opposing is not true 
as from birth 
we fall on the ground and stare at the stars 
always having a ground to fall upon
making it a bit easier to stand 
delicious foods growed upon the land 
lent to you by the life of the land
gives and gives until the land once given is corrupted 
and the love becomes painful 
answer me who will be blamed 
the other creatures as we build factories
upon the gravesite of earth

What land are we leaving for others 
to fall and entrust to 
Why must we be blinded 
by the need of material damage
listen closely 
will the voices of the trees surround you in time
or will we create a world
of volcano
and deserts 

Tell stories of trees 
instead of climbing them and mountains 
we dodge them
saying they are business's property
the amazon forest
the amazon desert all the same 
as we have amazon prime the only thing we care for
the nile 
the Missouri and all rivers turned to enemy 
as the grounds are polluted to toxicity

You will say you love them
but will you love the world that we left 
if you have to think of something 
think of the future of humanity nonetheless
will you let the world go to shambles
or finally see....

The evolution of humanity lies in mankind's hand

Death's Grasp
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
Seconds before release 
tears shed down peoples heads 
the grief of the world falls upon their shoulders 
distant memories brought forth by the shock
as if the tidal waves bring pain forth
from old joy 
As the reaper knocks upon the door so near 
a sudden darkness grabs hold 
as a flood of tears stains the memory of now 
im not here to say its all going to be alright 
im not here to say that i understand what you all go through 
rather to say that im here 
if you wish to have a shoulder to cry upon 
The seconds before death are filled with despair 
and fear 
of the knowing there is no more 
memories to be builr 
the creation of our own fortresses to be torn down 
smiles are vanquished as fast as the happiness once felt 
The love is so close as it encloses people to see
that their with them in all they do 
the flowers bloom on both sides of the fence 
stating that you may live in honor with them in mind 
or you can dig your own grave by the corpse's side
live in the love that will never vanish 
pass on the peace of mind that you will remember them 
before the seconds of how they died
Some speak of oasis after life 
or a cloud of happiness 
if so im sure they are having their time of peace and release 
times may be hard 
as shock is new 
but remember the ones you have physically 
and the ones who will always be with you spiritually and mentally
love and honor the ones gone 
by living life and smiling 
as you know their peace is to come as they sink into oasis after release 
those tears shed are all good and fair 
but smile because the one that is believed not to be there 
is watching from afar 
Live with the love of that who you did and do 
as release comes to peace for all those 
believe that of 
truth's smile

— The End —
