Mother Earth's Cries
by Ameena Rafeek
As the water flows,
Mother Earth cries for her land.
Never-ending flow.
The greenery blows,
As Mother Earth sways and shakes.
Pools of tears below.
In comes the sunlight,
Peeking in through the mountains.
A new light, a glow.
Mother Earth’s teardrops,
They grow and nourish the Earth.
And her cries echo.
