ENTER

Thank you Gail … Please check out GailD’s other awesome artwork on the RB

ENTER belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, Collaboral Damage, End Times and WMG

Come hither and ENTER
We are the ghosts of the trees
That once stood full and tall
That offered you a beautfiul breeze

ENTER, through the leafless trees
Who are sad and alone
Standing ignored
On their own

Come look and see
Man has not been kind
His carelessness has turned
Our world turned on it’s side

The leaves that grew
All green and full
Are no longer here
We remember still

How wonderful it was
To blow in the wind
Our leaves swaying
As it should have been

The birds are gone
The nests fell down
The baby birds
Lying on the ground

The deer would come
With their young
Running through the trees
Having fun

Squirrels and rabbits
Loved the nuts
That fell off the trees
Saving them in their little huts

All the animals and birds
Have gone away
Silence is here
All the day

The branches that opened
Way up to the sky
Now are leaning forward
We are soon to die

How sad our world
Has become
No longer are we
Enjoying the sun

We fear a fire
Will burn and destroy
It is only humans
That can employ

The cure for our situation
We want to thrive
Please help us
To stay alive
