Mother Nature Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Tess rockenstire, United States Sep 30, 2008
Culture , Environment , Natural Disasters   Poetry

  

Frozen in time...
When civilization went to sleep,
Under the earth–
Unknown is their history...
How one man lived his life,
Until nature took it in fury.
One hundred years or so?
No one knew
Until a guiding light came in.
We found Mother Nature.

Then came the explosion of fire,
Burning sulfur, acid on the earth;
Killing all civilization in one day.
We grieve, we suffer their loss.
Like metamorphosis is the power
Of mother earth.
In her bosom we drink our fill.
In the midst of her fury we kiss the earth
And breathe our last.

Writer Profile
Tess rockenstire


I am a mom who loves the Lord, and I have been inspired to write poetry by a very special friend. Educated in the Philippines from Elementary School to College, I have a degree in Secondary Education in English and the Filipino language. A nurse by profession, specializing in Diabetic nursing in upstate New York, I must confess that I wasn't particularly into poetry writing. While going through school earning my Bachelor’s degree in teaching, I disliked the enormous thoughts that I had to put through my brain. I can remember sitting in my English class learning Mythology, Shakespeare, English Literature, and American literature; the most boring subject. However, it all changed in later years. How I wish I could revive the years I had wasted in learning, but instead could have been writing poetry. But today is a new dawn of hope, and I feel resurrected.
