Nature Needs Help

Birds splash in the shallows, as crocodiles lurk in the deepest depths of the river,
The water as clear as crystal, shimmering like tiny diamonds sprinkled across the land,
Beautiful river banks bending around the river,
Come,
Play in our rivers,
walk through our forests,
come play with us
As I lean my back against a tall pine tree I ask the land, what can I do for you?
The land answers back, forests are dying, rivers are draining, help us. Help us to help you. 
I feel the despair in the land's voice, pity fills my heart,
I will help
I walk through mystical forests, letting go of my mind,
Help us
Take in the darkness,
Reach for the light,
Help us,
Help us to help you.
