teardrops

Earth shattering into pieces 

rivers filled with teardrops

ripe raspberries roses ravens 

disappearing like smoke in our world

salty teardrops drying up

Earth's heart of life is now steel 

The beasts and birds were banished from their land

The old baboons

by the light of the moon

were crying every night

ripe roses 

disappearing  like never-found dust

nature crying every night

melodies as sweet honey by birds melting away
