The world reclaims her own

Our passage here no more

We are temporary

Fleeting in our creations

And the destruction that follows

But the Earth, the Mother,

She is timeless

Patient as she watches our struggles

Unfold and repeat

In endless ignorance

As we chase ego

Before wisdom

We replace emotion

With materialism

But all will return

To what it once was

Soft hills and trees

Filled with the chatter

Of all the life

That has not forgotten how

To live

Dominion

Has never been held

By the world of men

As nature looks on

For our inevitable return ~ Caroline A. Slee
