a single tear
fell to the ground
spreading into an endless wave
devouring the earth
as it raced in torrents upon the dry ground
the anguish could be felt
in all the worlds
cries from those creatures
swallowed by the tear
she could not hold back this tear
her pain could not be consoled
as she looked at her people
the children of the earth
the suffering upon all life
was such a burden to bear
such a pain to endure
but as quickly as the tear fell
she wiped her eye
and dried the earth
with one fell sweep
forever a Mother
to the children of this earth
no sacrifice is too great
no dream is too big
no love is unworthy
for the great Mother
