EarthQuaker Issue 102
The Well underneath the stones
fed the mysterious lichen that appeared
on the henge
Where sunlight brings forth thousands of midsummer dawns.
On one dry day, three bold souls travelled from afar; Niamh, Rajan and Luke
to breakthrough, and spray an orange
blaze alight,
for a new era.
A call for humanity to live on our one Earth;
sustainably, lovingly and peacefully.
A simple request to just stop oil.
But it was met, with anger and shock,
"Our old trajectory is on track,
it isn't possible to do without."
But the stones on that Samain
when the veil is at its thinnest
answered in the wind
to the 12 who listened -
you are not guilty.
Those heavy stones ancient in their gravitas,
as darkness fell
stood firm accepting our gratitude.
