Love, The Earth
Jean Sep 2019
I am the redwood tree reaching down to the core of the earth and up to the sky

I am the northern lights flashing rainbow colors through the sky  

I am the light flashing from a lighthouse and glowing from the bottom of the ocean

I am a gray whale swimming from the warm waters of the south to the northern ice

I am depleting, my roots shrinking, my branches being cut down

I am lights flickering out from the energy, negative all around me

I am floating with plastic bags and beaching on the sand

I am the ice, melting and unable to support life

I am fading into nothingness, extinction created by thoughtlessness

I am the light and I am fading....

Love, the Earth

You don’t wear the ring
Jean Sep 2019
I was meant for you and you were meant for me
But now that’s all changed and you act like you’re free.

You don’t say you love me
You don’t wear the ring
I say that I love you
you don’t say a thing

So empty inside I’ve cried and I’ve cried

I’ve talked and I’ve talked
You’re silent

Lost in a silence enforced by my love
I’m so so tired waiting for advice from above

You don’t say you love me
You don’t wear the ring
I say that I love you
you don’t say a thing
