gods cry

rain hits the sill
i listen as it falls.
the gods are crying
the ground dry and crack
takes in the tears--
frantic.
life continues.
creatures seek shelter
plants thrive
mother creates balance
man creates destruction
buildings are taller
resources depleated
mother attempts to repair
more trees removed
fields flattened and paved
for parking lots
and strip malls
crude spills into the oceans
systems destored
so our comforts can multiply
top of the food chain
we own this place
or so we think
until there is no more

Rising up from the ash

I started reading a book last night, it was a book I've read before, in a different time and place--I was different. Women Who Run with Wolves, and as I was reading, I was inspired. The creative spark, which I have not felt for several years, was lit again. I wanted to write. I wanted to create. I found myself urning for intellectual conversation. I lost this drive, in the whirlwind of graduate school and full-time work, to explore my own thoughts and ideas. Emotion and creativity supressed by hurry up and wait.

I got lost.

So this is will be my attempt at reconnection, I've made several others in the past, but am hopeful that this will last.

More to follow.
