The Earth Cries

love brought a great storm
to quiet the hate in all
bringing hope and peace

teardrops fall silent
while the Amazon sleeps hot
animals cry out

the youth demand change
to save the green planet earth
and her water blue

God’s great birth of life
is not ours to take away
but one to preserve

Haiku by Joni 1/2/20

        I am so sorry how horrible to see that devastating so close. I hope you are safe. We will pray for God to stop the fire. Please be careful. Love you Joni

      3. We got some rain Joni so I do believe prayers are helping and conditions I have heard today are easing. I am safe..<3

        So glad and grateful for the rain. We will continue to pray for them to stop same as the clearing of trees for agriculture in the Amazon. Stay safe love you.
