The world is filled with anxiety, stress
& anxious people walking a tightrope of life
the earth spinning blue in a universe of black
turning endlessly in timeless beginnings
with barren landscapes screaming dry with thirst
deforestation stripping away the green of trees
within the reality of nature’s bitter tears
walking with careless abandon toward free falling
drifting slowly as Alice did down the rabbit hole
turning, slowly spinning while the earth spins
aimlessly, screaming at the unknown fast forward
on the tightrope of life a kaleidoscope of color
holding out hope for humanity looking for quiet
for the calm before each storm black and dark
as Dorothy is caught in a twister in a dream
hurling past the real and unreal in imagination
will a net be there to break their falling
as anxious people continue walking a tightrope
the earth spinning blue in a universe of black
turning endlessly in timeless beginnings
a universe unable to reveal any answers
even though answers may never come

Thank you, Andrea. I, myself, am only an observer of the chaos that captures so many in it’s grip. Even so, without the Nature that surrounds us and continues to give us hope, I believe it is that that enables all of us to continue on. Let me say that, again, it is my own observation that I believe is true in many ways, lifelines reaching out if only we take the time to look. I so enjoy your writing, Andrea. So much depth in your own observations that always brings me into the picture with you. Take care

Thank you Renee for sharing this awesome poem… Indeed it seems as if the world is spinning out of control… faster and faster as everything becomes a blurr…. No defining lines of right or wrong, just the constant barrage of labels of does and don’ts..
This is a time of momentous learning, as we begin to unlearn all that we were taught… As our beliefs in a system we thought which was designed to protect, instead becomes the prison of control..
We will spin a little longer until clarity gets a grip….
Hang on in there dear Renee….
Much love to you xx ❤

So powerful Renee.
I’m sorry I’ve been quite out of it for a while – there always seems to be so, so much going on at the moment. But I’m doing ok. There’s always a lot going on.
I hope you too are well Renee!

Hello again, Renee,
Thanks for taking a look at my latest blogpost after months of my inactivity on WP. Just saw your poem with the photo of our aching Earth. Loved it as always. The images of Alice falling down the rabbit hole and of Dorothy spinning round the real and the unreal are really well-found. They perfectly connect with the idea of our world problems. I, like you, think Nature gives us Hope, Hope for our Humanity. Be well and Happy New Year!
