"Change, Change, Change"

Everything changes,

even Mother Earth,

she groans & moans

& gives birth

to creation & destruction,

comfort & disaster,

green plants & blue rivers,

dry dirt & burning rock,

she gives life,

she gives death,

ice frozen,

heat melting,

wild upheavels,

then back to gentle balance.

Oh brave souls

walking Mother Earth!

You too change,

birth & death,

build & knock down,

create & destroy--

oh brave souls!

stay strong,

stay peaceful,

as Earth transitions,

as beings transition,

& remember--

there are many dimensions--

love & fear,

peace & turmoil--

you can choose the one you want.

I believe boats are female too ??? Isn't it strange for inanimate objects. I've never understood why

Good point Graham re Mother Earth. I gotta move out of the old gender-focused language & use more inclusive references. Will think on that!
No need to get your coat! Lol

Sorry I liked the poem very much. You illustrate our wanton destruction well.

I do not wish to be disrespectful but you mention 'transition'. Are we stop calling her Mother Earth? Come to think of it further, why is the planet termed female, when Mars/Jupiter etc are termed fully male.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.
