Reflection

Reflection

Powerless

I tried running.
My body 
too well rooted 
could not move.

The wind pushed me. 
Still my body 
could not move.

Powerless
I watched, witnessed 
the ruins.

In sadness 
pain and grief 
I saw their remains

Alive
souls intact
trying to come to me.
Trying to grow.

I cried.
My tears soaked the earth
forming lakes.

Lakes reflecting
my children 
as they were 
before man came.
