Moon shines paled and silver o'er the land <br />and ripples bright beyond the sands <br />stars light gleams of light beyond <br />this fallow earth which turns with song <br />and time proceeds in space <br />as life in air received with grace <br />and water joining all the lands afar <br />reflects that light in each earth bound jar; <br /> <br />lightening shafts its knife of light <br />and thunder cracks within our souls <br />as waves ascending crescendo down <br />upon a desolated bleeding heart, <br />tornados tear the tranquil mind <br />and ravage thoughts once kind, <br />nature tells of troubled times <br />and deep beneath the ocean swells <br />a calm pervades as waiting, waiting <br />for those deep volcanic flows <br />to burst upon the deep <br />with steam and molten rock <br />made from which, new islands grow; <br /> <br />and still we sit with permeating love, <br />unmoved by natures wroth <br />or winds of change <br />as in our hearts we dwell <br />in silent witness to natures violent will <br />and as a famine scours the land, <br />was it bereft of only rain <br />until our hearts melt in the sun <br />and pour forth Your love again?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-s-famine/
