" Gaia"

 Gaia √

She came into this world alone

Child of heart but fully grown

And walked along the ridge of stone

Full of heart, but nothing known

Not knowing whence or where she came

Not even knowing of her name

But then a light and gentle touch

A heart of light that means so much

Wherefrom the sigh of love and such

In such a world as this bright ball

Love should surely conquer all

But on its flickering way it went

To come again, when heaven sent

But just, for now, the way is rent

So, with a sigh, she stands unbent

And, with that sigh, a strength is lent

A task awaits, a time unspent

"Why am I here?", she shouts aloud

No one replies, but hears the crowd

The glistened way is all in shroud

Too deep the turmoil has been plowed

Of concrete things, we were so proud

No things of heart were then allowed

All mankind so surely cowed

Upon the grasping, man had bowed

She gazed out, then, upon the endless ocean

Passion caught within unceasing motion

Rocks and ocean all around

Her destiny as yet unfound

Upon the rocks, her destiny

She meets her love to be set free

His blood pumps through her heart to fold

The deepest bond our kind can hold

They stand upon the rocky point

All alone, their souls anoint

Eternity with waves unbound

Something new is finally found

They look upon the world as new

Hand in hand, the leaf and dew

From there, beginning had begun

Wave on wave beneath the sun

Life goes on as all will say

Reckoned to this very day

A tendrilled thought reached out so kind

Those touched were thought to lose their mind

John, of regal industry

Engaged a beggar to be free

Jim, the spouse of angered core

His wife, he found now, to adore

Within the fewest spanning days

Big Pharma dreamed of TLAs

Winding, writhing so in vain

She harkened to the utter pain

What of this world that's gone insane

When will they learn, a slight restrain

Joe's free spirit, bent and twisted

Puppy's eyes, so full and misted

Brought the flood of unknown tears

Hidden by a life of fears

White fury blazed beyond her knowledge

As she entered power's college

She went to face the power's core

Beyond all fear, they did ignore

To the guns, the leader nods

With narrowed eyes, she breaks the odds

Bullets into flowers from the rifles' stems of pods

"I could bend your minds, so doing, break

So inflexible did you finally make

Your heart and all about you

No thought remaining true

Shed it now, I warn you once

Or you will pay it in the nonce

With pompousness within their eyes

Few of that ilk believed her cries

And, pay they did, in endless coin

All wit was lost and thought disjoined

The epidemic spread worldwide

Setting free a rising tide

As Empathy and passion fiercely rose

So arrogance came quickly to a close

Only the worst of minds were broken

Softly done and seldom spoken

And, as transition took its place

Tears ran down her loving face

They stood, again, upon the rocks

No time left, now, to save from shocks

"My darling, dear, my time is run

I've faced the tide, it all is done

And, now, I can no longer stay

But, darling!" She cried, "I'll miss your way!"

Tears streamed down in deep remorse

Her life did seem to run its course

Her body limp as death will do

No movement left and lips of blue

His head bowed down in anguished pain

His tears poured down like unleashed rain

But, wait! she stirs within his arms

How can  this be? what are the charms?

She looks into his eyes and smiles

"Have I fallen by a while?"

"You said that you must now move on

Change your mind, my loving one?"

"Where am I now, I'm sorry, sir

I know you not, but some things stir

As if I knew, another time

As if we were a loving rhyme"

"Yes, my darling, that is true

All I'll say is I love you

And hope, again, you'll love me too

As time does pass to see us through

I'll wait until you know it's true

Because, my darling, I love you"

The love is showing in her face

As she says, "No need to pace

For I can feel it now, and it is surely true

That, yes, in fact, there is no doubt that I indeed love you

The feeling is as adamant as if 'twere cast in stone

That I will never leave your side nor ever be alone

As long as I am here with you

For I know your love is true

'Twill last through age unknown

I know as cast in stone"

As Gaia spread throughout the world

The words were sighed by just a girl

The sigh that breathes of love
