As promised, here is one of the poems I wrote about climate change. It is from my book "The Anatomy of Waves".

 

MOTHER NATURE

 

And we keep watch

On the edge of the world

Both eyes open

Hearts anchored in the sea

 

Protectors of the gods

That surround us 

Since the dawn

Of humanity

 

Guards of the forests

Sisters of the deserts

Brothers of mountains

Companions of the tide

 

And we keep watch

Over your ancient wisdom

And your magic

Inside of every living thing

 

Healing with plants

Flowing with rivers

Dreaming with storms

Growing with earth

 

And we keep watch

As our ancestors have

And our descendants will do

As we are one

With you
