California fires


 

The night glows
With thousands of lights
Through the creation
Of cosmic  delights
Natures kaleidoscope
Of earthly wonders
Ever evolving in
Rainfall and thunder
Wild landscape
Untouched by humanity
Tempestuous winds
Testing our sanity
Emotions ensnared
In earths ecosphere
One can truly imagine
Dinasaurs here
Lightning that
Touches off forest fires
Animals seek water
To escape the pyre
Storms and floods
That come up in a flash
Volcanic eruptions
Spewing lava and ash
Majestic mountains
Disappear into the sea
While polar icebergs
Sail past most ghostly
It is ever happening
To mother earth
Always a new age
About to give birth


etw

Amazing photo and I am so happy you did not blame global warming or climate change for the fires. It is all something the planet has been doing before man ever existed. Despite how egotistical humans are, we do not control nature. Not for the good or bad. ~ Sara

If you will pardon my french, Mother Earth is pissed-off as you won't believe, like any mother, don't bug her over her limit!

Mother truly seems to be in a violent mood these days, and I fear more draught, more devastating wildfires, and even more violent storms are now our future.

Vivid imagery expressed so beautifully...and yet, filled with sadness.

...images so wonderfully expressed...can only hope to hold the tiniest sliver of Mother Earth's ash...so that we might once more instead...be able to rekindle her flame in the heart...where it once so sacred...began.
beautiful expression of the heart Eileen...

Reviewed by Karen Palumbo 6/12/2008
A very descriptive and vivid imagery of all that has been happening over the past year or so. Is the earth renewal, tilted axis once again, or perhaps it is God trying to warn all of what is to come.....

Be always safe,
Karen

This poem is as beautifully written as it is sad, Eileen ... I can comprehend and accept the natural disasters, but the fires that are deliberately set are inexcusable ... We are experiencing the effects of the volcano as the vog hovers over the Hawaiian Chain. Stay safe, Eileen ... Love - Tee

Stay safe, Eileen, know you're in my prayers - can't imagine - have had fires near, but not this close - this bad - wow.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Reviewed by richard cederberg 6/12/2008
Oh my ... close to home ...

we've gone through this twice in the last five years. Last Sunday Michele and me hiked one of the paths up in the Cuyamacas that was totally devastated. It was heart-breaking. Even after five years it is still a wasteland of burned out trees that resemble the veins of corpses and hundreds of square miles of shoulder high weeds.

And the cycle continues, birth, life, death ... superb write!
Reviewed by Karen Lynn Vidra, The Texas Tornado 6/12/2008
Simply marvelous write, Eileen; but I pray and hope you are safe!! You are in my thoughts today; be careful!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

I love how you described all the earth's suffereing and likened it to birth. The two last sentences ROCK!!! This is beautiful Eileen.
