Crying for the planet

Crying for the planet

Crying for us humans

Oh man

How can we get it so wrong?

There is love there in the ocean

Or in the silent flow

Of a stream

That just gives of its essence

To a world that thirsts

But how far away does our hunger drive us

From what is truely longed for

What is real

And what will sustain us

Within the balance of a heart

That has weighed what has value

Sorting the husks from chaff

I feel this love in my heart so often

I feel this love in your hearts too

In the words you express

In anger hurt and tenderness

And within your suffering

Which is nothing less

Than a cry for love

For balance

For care

From gentle souls

Who see deep dark truths

And can no longer stay silent

At this time of such critical change
