Mother Nature's Dilemma
she cries
for the woes
that have befallen her
a plague of busyness
that once began
so promising
her tears soak the soil
unleash petrichor
and as drops
grow into streams
streams into rivers
rivers into seas
she shivers
with a flicker of hope
that her sadness
might wash away
her greatest creation—
her most destructive
mistake
