From Blue to Red

Nature shows her fertility, She gives birth to all living creatures. She is pleased with her children, Their innocent courage helps her Create unfathomable wonders. Every morning she wakes With cheerful sounds and bright delight. One fine day she wishes to be pregnant again, And asks help from the five elements. With them she creates The most powerful creature of all. But she never knows They are going to end her dream. She forgives every mistake Of her younger children. Sometimes she scolds them, Trying to frighten them into wisdom. Now she hears only Roaring and crying sounds. Slowly she loses her patience. Her dream world changes From blue to red. The green charm turns pale, Her peace is disturbed, Her warnings become vain. Yet her pain holds power to burn. She has lost her love and patience. She longs to return To her peaceful world again. Now she knows what to do – She will erase Those once-genius creatures Who forgot their mother.
