Falling Forests – A Foreshadowing Reminder
Poem Published in the VI Source on September 29, 2020
When a forest falls
Trees bleed, blue blood
Ancestral rains pour into the soil of the unborn
Memories of the future
Buried in babies without words
and nations shall kneel at the mercy of the oppressed
When there IS no more air
Breath will be valued
Visibility clouded by smoke and flame
The worry of windstorms both lulls and awakens
Those holding up the final layers of denial
frantically bracing themselves from cognitive dissonance
Will it take the final waves of the Earth’s quaking
to wake us
from the slumber
of Falling Forests
