Earth Abides
The sound of robins singing
In the clear fresh air of spring
Births memories of simpler times
When we were free to breathe
The earth abides
We are but a whisper
Lost in a dream
And I am but a dreamer
Drifting with the breeze
To wolves and coyotes
To the rattlesnake and crow
The days of wonder have arrived
The day the humans stayed home
We were the stewards of this earth
But we failed to hold the line
Now we face the woeful consequence
Of pretending we’re divine
The earth abides
The sun still shines
Life blooms wildlife thrives
As we await the waning tide
