The sky is blazing
the earth is burning
ice caps are melting
it's all overwhelming
times running out
now, there's a drought
tick tock, tick tock
raven sits on a clock
the moon is wobbling
the ocean is throttling
humans are dying
heaven is crying
times running out
give truth a shout
tick tock, tick tock
raven sits on a clock
in a world of fire
birds sit on a wire
the trees are gone
what the hell is going on
a world in despair
how do we repair
hope keeps us going
until the hour of knowing
times running out
love needs to sprout
tick tock, tick tock
raven sits on a clock
linking with earthweal
writing about truth in a world of fire
Thank you for visiting
may we extinguish some of the fires in life and the world
Author's note - Part of this came to me in a dream.
A raven was sitting on a clock and in the whispers
of a tree I heard time's running out and I saw a blazing sun.
I love the raven sitting on a clock......and the message in your dream is both ominous and real. True, my email system is not working. Have to get it fixed later. Will e you when it's back up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry for letting me know. The dream was choppy and I wanted the poem to reflect the tone of the dream. Not sure, I was successful but, it is what it is!
DeleteReally enjoyed this .... perfect for Friday the 13th!
ReplyDeleteHa, I didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th.
DeleteThe raven on the clock, tick tock. What a great image for these times.
ReplyDeleteI agree Suzanne but, it was a bit disturbing to encounter in the dreamscape.
DeleteYes, perfect for Friday the 13th.
ReplyDeleteHell might take over for a while but the Earth will become Heaven again one day.
I hope you are right Alex, we have wandered so far from the garden of eden.
DeleteYou really convey the urgency of the situation with your repetitions here. The clock is ticking and we're dangerously close to zero hour!
ReplyDeleteI do feel there is a real urgency with our current situation.
DeleteFantastic imagery. Poetic? Yes. Frightening? No question.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a bit frightening.
