The first in this week …
Nature’s Lament … by Susi Bocks

Inspired by Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Dusk & Reena’s Exploration Challenge #226
the fiery sky
begs me at dusk
come
see nature’s bounty
unburdening
each step i take
mires me to its message
relinquishing the day
i listen for the confessions of the dark
mother cries
her beauty is vanishing
her children the cause
