Lifting my eyes towards the sky
Questions arise…
Are we in the midst of the beginning of the end?
Are the oceans really dying?
Will the dolphins continue to pulse their joyful song?
Will the moon be crying for our dying planet?
The next generation will tell the tale
Gratitude still encompasses daily moments
Joy is to be found in simple pleasures
Yet psyche absorbs dangerous news of the day
Mother Gaia sends its call for guardian angels
