Storm clouds riding on the back of the wind
Brooding…heavy…as dark as the devil at night
Cloaked in corruption…hustling the light
Growls of anger hang…heavy in the air
Lightning forks…burning through the clouds…
A jagged merciless tear
Hearts beating like thunder…backs humped against the onslaught
Many battles for their freedom…still to be fought
Leaf laden branches writhe…snapping in the storm
Stolen like the wildlife…discarded…tossed high in the sky
Clouds burdened with greed….. continue to climb high
A stillness reigns…menacing in the quiet
A perfect opaque tear drop….a small puff of dust
The sweet breath of compassion caressing the earth’s hard crust
Stinging needle like rain bursts from the pregnant cloud
Mother Nature bestows…life giving elixir….
A cleansing enshroud
Guardians of the bush….
On wings of spun gold…the dark clouds drift slowly away
Peace like tender shoots unfurling….celebrating the new day
Magical life…ours to cherish and protect
No pollution, taking for granted and leaving
Footprints of neglect
Silken lives glisten…blessed with drops of rain
Our parched earth reborn…free of pain
Please take a look at our
website….help if you can
