“The Earth would be
A lot greener
If your heart chakra
Was open...”
The little wiry
Crystal crunchy
Patchouli
Girl said
Sweetly enough,
All swinging
Back and forth
In mellow
Naturally green
Died clothing
Woven of
Hemp
& free trade
certifiable.
She couldn't
Understand how
My face turned
Sad upon
Hearing it.
It was no different
Than telling me
If I didn't believe
In Jesus
I was condemned
To a life
In the eternal flames
Of damnation.
She truly
Believed what
She was saying
To me
Wasn't a form
Of judgment,
But showing
Me a way
To save the planet
& myself…
Telling people
How ignorant
They are
Isn't the way
To save anyone
From anything.
It isn't salvation
The planet needs…
Gaia has shaken
Off worse than a
Few creatures
Such as ourselves.
She has survived
Meteor impacts
Solar radiation
Plate shifts
Super volcano
Explosions that
Turned her skies
Black
Several times
Over.
No. She knows
How to make
Herself green
Again…
Her patience
Is infinitely
Larger than
Ours is
To imagine
Hers.
To know
That what we
Do to ourselves
&
What we do
To another
Are no different
& interchangeable.
To say
That I needed
To open my
Heart chakra
Was to admit
That hers was
Closed to me.
She was telling me
That she judged
Herself…
That the connection
Was closed,
Not in me,
For I know
Myself,
But in her.
All I could
Do,
All I can
Do,
All I will
Do,
Is accept her
Here & now
As she is,
Perfectly where
And when she needs
To be
Accepting the perfection
Of the Divine
To manifest
This judgment,
And simply
Be present
For her
Until she is able
To see that
I am here
For her,
And that her
Sweet but
Subtle green
Anger for those
Who she feels
Are destroying
The planet
And environment
Are simply
In a state
Of forgetting
One simple thing.
It is impossible
For us not
To be
Connected.
One quick trip
Up into the atmosphere
To look down
On this tiny
Floating sphere
Shows this
Truth
To be
Eventually
Inescapable…
Green will
Return to the Earth.
Our choice is only
Whether we do it
With
or
Without
Our mother
Gaia.
