in arrogance,
etched his name
deep into
Earth's rocks and marrow.
He sought to woo her.
"Without my light,
my warmth,
you are nothing!"
he proclaimed.
Earth was unmoved;
her icy disdain
slowly erased
all evidence of his touch.

ReplyDeleteMother Earth will never bow to threats or bullying. You have illustrated this very well. She wins in the end and will do so again, I have no doubt.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece of writing.
Ohhhhhhh I would love to be so cool. That title!!!
ReplyDeleteI am fearful of Mother Earth's wrath and coolness as well! I read through this twice to let its enormity absorb. This is fantastic!
