It was a time when all things
evil began to darken even those hearts of hope that looked towards the
celestial door of heaven. A haunting
vapor of melancholy had curled its tendrils throughout the heavens, until the
misery of helplessness on the earth, once rich with life, left the brittle
bones of humanity crushed beyond despair.
Gnashing teeth and lashing
tongues spew out the blame across the lands as if it were confetti sprinkling
down amongst the remnants of a fallen ecosystem. Better late than never is a hallow phrase,
when there are no options at the end. It
may have been more prudent to remember we were only guests of Mother Earth - not her boss.
Too late.
She's in reboot mode.
To ashes she goes, moving in
her orbit about her star… one million, two million… millions of orbits as she
stews over what to brew up in her next era of life, if fate allows. She wants to get it right this
time around - to not rock her boat off its course by life that will not live as family with her other creatures.
It’s always worth a try,
but if she spawns an entity that evolves thinking it owns the world, well
then…
Heaven help us…
here we go again.

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! It is a fun time! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy week.
ReplyDelete...I wish you a Spooktacular Halloween.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, I love it! Perfect analogy and a cautionary tale all rolled into one. You picked the perfect illustrations too!
ReplyDeleteOooh, spookiness!
ReplyDeletePerhaps more of a prophesy than you think.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, Thank you for this poetic reminder of humanity's place on this Earth — not as rulers, but as humble guests. The haunting imagery of Mother Earth in “reboot mode” drives home the sobering realization that we’ve pushed her to a breaking point. This cosmic perspective, with Earth spinning endlessly, stewing on her next chapter, suggests both the resilience of nature and the tragic consequences of our own hubris. As you say, Heaven help us. John
ReplyDeleteI love the thoughts you have left here; I think and feel the same. Mother Earth does not need us humans as much as we need her. 😊
ReplyDeleteAll the best! Hugs. 💗
Deine Nachdenklichkeit kommt meinen Empfindungen sehr entgegen! Und dazu dann noch die Befürchtung, dass ein Mensch mit nicht mehr intaktem Gehirn & Verstand bei euch an die Macht kommt. Wahrlich, wir leben in schrecklichen Zeiten, sagt man bei uns.
ReplyDeleteDir eine virtuelle Umarmung!

You are such a wonderful writer! Thanks for stopping by the other day. Trying desperately to catch up amidst other challenges in life here for a bit! I'm glad I came by here today!
ReplyDeleteHumankind's arrogance has put all life on Earth in jeopardy as you so eloquently express in your writings. It's spooky but I still have hope we will do what's right to extend life.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post for the times!

Oh my! The reality part of the poem is scarier than Halloween.
ReplyDeleteFun times at Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! 🎃 🕷 🕸 🎃🎃🎃 Yes, we have here spooky time too. Less in our street but around, if there families with children.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. And I agree! There are wicked witches in the air. Be carfully. Whispering a good witch in opposite...
...thank you too, for your nice comment.

Oh WOW, dear Yvonne: "to not rock her boat off its course by life that will not live as family with her other creatures" - you said that well!
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is - there ARE some who want to live with the other creatures as a family... but unfortunately there are apparently more of the "others".
I hope you survived Halloween well and had a pleasant start to November! My November begins with a blog post about the last part of our trip - New York, New York - and when I have visited all my dear readers, I will take a longer blog break...
Wishing you a good time! Hugs and all the best from Austria, Traude

PS: Don't fear the witches, but those who burned them! 🧙🏼♀️🧹🔥
Yes, we love this mystic time too :))) Dear Yvonne, I enjoyed your post very much.
