Mother's Sorrow

7/15/2015

On the 5th of July I posted a poem titled "Mother's Fury". I've been dealing with a lot of anger and pain in myself over the environmental changes I am seeing and the unconsciousness of myself and so much of our society over this issue. It feels like I have been trained to act and think in a way that now opposes the fabric of my being as I emerge in my unfolding process. This frustration has left me feeling like my heart is closing and I am becoming bitter and judgmental of myself and others. So this morning's period of contemplation was centered around a prayer for help with this issue and this poem is the result. Enjoy.

Mother's Sorrow

the real wrath of God
is the simple laws of nature;
what goes up
must come down
for every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction;
consequences

but if you sit and deeply listen
to the heart of the world
to the hustle and bustle of nature
you'll hear within it a larger heartbeat - 
the sound of creation - 
and there is an unmistakable love there
a bounty, a ridiculous abundance
of wonder, mystery and potential;
see this
let this take your breath away 
with possibilities
with awe!

and it is this heart that breaks a little 
every time her children go extinct
her landscape goes bare
her waters become polluted;
but mostly she weeps for a children
most beloved
who have gone astray
in deed and purpose

this heart has hope
and directs us
if we listen
let today be a prayer
for deeper listening
and our collective anger and grief
a clearing
for greater love

* Original poem by Summer Starr, July 2015
