the heartbeat of the universe
never falters no matter what
humans do to disrupt
the rhythm of life
with destructive wars
the heartbeat never falters
nor laying waste the land
with mono cultures causing
landslides in heavy rain
polluting rivers
nets scraping ocean beds
the heartbeat never falters
paint lilies appear in autumn
lorikeets screech their praises
to the flowering gumtrees
footsteps noiseless on the forest floor
the heartbeat never falters to bring hope...
Some of my favourite birds Janet
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of happy lorikeets in your garden. They've got it right, eating, drinking, sheltering (in the gum trees) and hopefully staying safe. We can take a leaf out of their book. ld
