Natural gemstones of life

Earth’s natural gemstones thunder down
Miriards of multi sized scattered diamonds tumbling
trained jewels, beads, roll down roof glazing
Tiny shards of light begin to bounce, dance and reflect magnificantly
At first twinkles of days sunlight peep from behind storm clouds
Enters sunrise, day breaks
Vast darkness of night-times tears quickly disperse
evaporating to the brighter warmer climate
Nature’s tears are quickly dried
Outside still few mirrors remain reflecting the skies and beauty
Besides these little basins of wonder
patchy shadowed pavements still damp retract
As temperatures rise I recollect musing over shrinage of moisture
Just as the tides retrace their steps back to the oceans
But who ever sees their journey thereafter
The cycle of life continues whether we notice or not
So every droplet wasted counts
As climates change so must we
Earth and sea compositions alter
It’s down to us to make a difference
To help preserve and protect the living species
and precious commodities we need for every day living
before these treasures are lost, gone from our world altogether
Richer or poorer are we crumbling our planet
At the cost of bling we run down waste holes
Or leave to trail the land around us
Are we throwing our futures away
Should we not be evaluating the cost of new things precious
The waters of life, catch them if you can
Earths natural gemstones thunder down

Nice! I like how it starts off about nature. The gemstones, diamonds and jewels how beautiful, fascinating and shiny.

A great write on issues more serious than most will ever consider or care about, thats a sad fact. Our most precious resource, water, sustains all life both animal and mineral. A nice write of awareness, thanks, be well k

So glad you can appreciate the serious nature of todays world and the condition of tomorrows... A shame so many others do not appreciate the catstrophe that encroaches so quickly if we do not act not... It is something we all must care enough to make changes about... Appreciate your views/comments... Look forward to reading more of your own soon...;D

Native drums are beating in the background of this wonderfully written Mother Earth work, and the drums become louder and louder as each line is read. Great write my friend from across the pond! SBear

Sadly so true, thanks for your thoughts, but if we act now and help educate others in a visual way to give impact of what will be, maybe we can still make some changes - i don't want my family suffering - we need take on board some of the ideas of these cultures more intune with Mother Nature...

Poetry is what is lost in translation.
