QUOTE OF THE DAY
“When you are taking action for climate, it’s not for climate change, it’s for you. It’s for your family, it’s for everything you love, everyone you love, every place that you love – that’s why you’re doing it.”
—Katharine Hayhoe, Climate Scientist

My grief for Earth is quite profound,
No point in crying, I make no sound,
Except for the clicking of my computer keys,
Where I write about her demise, practically on my knees,
In the hope my words will one day find,
The young and old, no longer blind.

When the clock strikes midnight,
Wish with all your might,
That wars will end & peace will reign,
And humanity can start over again,
Earth won’t just survive, it will actually thrive,
And we can look forward to being alive,
Let’s find a new way of giving,
And truly start living.

5 years ago today, on August 20th, Greta Thunburg sat in front of the Swedish Parliament and began “school strikes for the climate.” I look at this photo in awe of how this 15 year-old girl started a movement to save Earth for younger generations.

When we go home,
We’ll go together,
And that’s where we’ll stay,
Forever,
War will never again,
Make us lose our home,
Forcing us elsewhere,
Making us roam,
We’ll find and reclaim,
What was ours,
And plant
New sunflowers. 🌻

As well as my knowledge of the suffering yet to come,
Especially for the children on the earth, My tears could put every coastal city

Kisses too busy to reciprocate,
Hugs I didn’t appreciate,
Now you’re gone and I regret,
All the ways I showed neglect,
What I’d give for another chance,
To rekindle what was a beautiful romance.

We’re only here for a very short time,
Wouldn’t it be better if we all were kind,
There’s tremendous suffering upon the Earth,
Mostly caused by humans and a kindness dearth,
Sometimes reaching out a hand is hard,
But in that one gesture, you can remove so many scars.

John Lennon
10/9/40-12/8/80
In the better world of John Lennon people would forgo violence and act out of love and mutual respect. They would realize religion, nationality, and skin color are meaningless and that any person should be treated as a fellow human being.

Sometimes a country must fall to its knees,
And smell the earth below it,
Remember the blood spilled to build it,
Ask grace to forgive its sins,
Review the tenets forged as an idea,
Determine if they cause pain,
And if so, change them,
As before it can rise again,
It must heal.

The shelter worker gave him a treat,
But the rescue dog was too timid to eat,
From the back door of his cage she inched ever closer,
And attached the leash, but the dog just froze,
With a gentle tug he was out of the cage,
Greeting his new family,
He was fully engaged.

Surrender unto me,
And we’ll fly together,
You’ll see,
Do not be afraid
To let it all go,
Our love will never fade,
I will catch you,
No matter what,
Even if it’s way below,
For I’ve loved you,
At least a thousand years,
And together we are true.

CANNOT SPEAK
She speaks to me in her own special way,
And asks me to make the pain go away,
I rub her belly for some time,
Until she’s asleep in the bed that’s mine,
I can’t bring myself to wake this hound,
For my love for her knows no bounds.

I miss my ancestors who’ve
departed,
And the guidance and wisdom they imparted,
I often wonder what they’d think,
About world affairs and if we’re on the brink,
Would they feel it’s all declined,
Or prefer to live again and be entwined.

THE WALL
I built the wall,
Brick by brick,
It's been up so long,
Ivy has grown,
In and around the mortar,
But you cut through the vines,
Stem by stem,
Till the wall was bare,
Like me.

My childhood Greek lessons
Run through my head,
As the letters are naming
Mutations of death,
Favorite letters I learned how to write,
Now used for a virus with no end in site,
The Times declares: Omicron’s pronunciation’s unclear,
Really, I say?
Just ask me—any day of the year!

One year ago today,
My mother passed away,
I was doing an Earth Day radio interview,
When the notification of her death came through,
I could not stop as it was live,
A 1000 knives cutting up my insides,
I miss her more as time goes by,
She & Earth Day linked forever in my mind.

I sit & think about what lies ahead,
And where I’ll be able to lay my head,
Will it be on pavement hard,
Or risk a shelter & being scarred,
I served my country but I’m not well,
Yet I’m not ready to say farewell,
I still hope life will be kind,
Despite it payin’ me no mind.

A breeze caresses that is way too warm,
Like a seductive mistress, it makes me conform,
But it’s far too balmy for this time of year,
It’s sensuality burying my awareness and fear,
I’m lured into this complacent place,
By an Earth that’s warming me in a deadly embrace.

Each time I see them,
Tall and shiny in movies,
I remember,
Each time a plane flies,
Just a bit too low,

Each time I see fear,
In my daughter’s eyes,
I remember,
And each time the sky,
Is that perfect September blue,
I remember.

The bolts of lightning light up the sky,
And there’s absolutely nowhere to hide,
The alerts of destruction fill up my phone,
The tornadoes form and begin to roam,
It’s 3:30am and the sky is white,
And it’s a deadly color for the night.

Some days are utterly mundane,
Others are completely insane,
Some days the minutes tick by like hours,
Others boast accomplishments in just a few hours,
While certain days feel totally out of your control,
Never let one day take away your very soul.

Our parents are dead, Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins too,
Our home is gone,
We have no food,
We have no other clothes,
We stand on this magical piece of rubble,
Listening to explosions,
We are safe here,
We have each other,
We are still alive,
We’re on our own.

My mother’s soul is finally at peace,
While I am quite unable to sleep,
She left me only five hours ago,
And my heart’s forgotten how to flow,
It feels like a fist within my chest,
Preventing me from taking a deep full breath,
I am changed forever now,
She has taken her final bow

You come to me in my dreams at night,
Where once again I get to hold you tight,
I remember your smell and you lick my face,
And my love for you remains a form of grace,
To see you again is a gift from above,
As you are the dog that saved me with unconditional love.

Is anybody out there,
Can someone take me to the light,
For I have lost the will to carry on and fight,
Cobwebs grow over my eyes,
As I lie in bed unable to rise,
I hear distant laughter outside,
Will the darkness ever subside,
Is anybody out there,
Please carry me to the sunrise

In it’s brilliant seductive light.

Spring is odd in Manhattan,
Longing for the smell of lilacs,
The hot dog vendor dominates,
Birds chirp for a moment,
The sound instantly obfuscated by honking,
But finally the spring sun renews,
Its unique hue hits the skyscrapers,
With a sooty iridescence that is NYC.

The ferocious storm has stopped,
Brave birds begin to emerge,
Singing quietly at first,
The sky is a mixture,
Of receding grey with patches of blue,
The wind has stopped,
Once again, we can hear our own thoughts,
Spring is a fickle mix,
Of a bad temper and unbridled joy.

Is it time to bid winter adieu,
If this is February,

We must fight for our earth, undeterred.
