Weary Earth
Weary Earth, how you suffer:
Enduring all of Sky's tears
And falling apart for Tree's roots
What do they hold for you,
Except weaknesses yet to be seen?
Sky will always be changing,
For she is fickle, and slow;
She cries one night
And brightens the next
Always battering your living flesh
Tree will always be growing,
For he is stubborn, and still;
He twists his hands
And bows to the wind
Always clinging to your animate flesh
Weary Earth, I know you:
How you ache for Sky
And how you sink for Tree
What have I done for you,
Except live amongst them?
I will always be morphing,
For I am Human, and stupid;
Like Sky during sunrise
I change colors
Always ignorant to your stability
I will always be increasing,
For I am Human, and unsatisifed;
Like Tree during autumn
I let out my leaves
Always reliant on your constancy
Weary Earth, how you suffer:
Breathing in nauseous gas
And crumbling under my walls
What have we left for you,
Except a future very uncertain?
