The Earth cried that day
the day her mother fell to slumber
ne'er again to wake
one resounding crash, boughs intertwined in perfect array
her colors fading, losing their deep hues of umber
the world over shuddered with such a quake
for the fairies had forgotten their way
*Dance for the trees and not the tithes
thus fell our Mother
The Tree of Life*

her colors fading, losing their deep hues of umber
the world over shuddered with such a quake
for the fairies had forgotten their way
*Dance for the trees and not the tithes
thus fell our Mother
The Tree of Life*
