sun shine in Winter fills us with joy,
cold when prolonged,makes us long
for Spring or Summer
Colors of the fall awakens the artist within
cooler breeze makes us shiver, we go in-side
and smile and feel safe and warm …
though white is Earth wearing a cold shawl,
silent but for a creaking of a breaking twig,
we are the weather, we make the climate, change’
birds join the chilly quietude
sadness wraps the atmosphere,
raindrops never speak
leaves fall without a sound,
streams in silver moonlight,
shine and seek the spirit,and
nothingness feels around, still
I reach out to find a void
why do we still ask,
how is the weather ?
will it rain? will it be clear?
yet unaware are we,
how related-
how near, how dear it is-
my silence is now music ,
my silence is now sound
and my silence can hear you now,
I love the clouds up high
I love the trees below
It’s love that cares with the
breeze, flowers bloom , how
can we ourselves ,doom?
restlessness grows but in silence ,
will subside with love beside..
if only you could ..but no,
I am with you in silence…
with love, I survive,
Alive is the Earth, no hate
I am the weather,elate –
I am the Climate Change
Oh I wish for this to be true! To manage the changes as self, as art, as a shawl and changing dress of earth with no need for alarm. May it be so! Let all the changes help us to see god and ourselves.

It is a fact that we are, each of us, part of climate change – the devastation and – hopefully – the solution. A wonderful poem, Anjum! So nice to see you.

Your poem is beautiful and almost peaceful yet restlessness grows. Will love be enough to lessen the impact. We can only hope.

love is a very powerful emotion-if we truly love our planet and sincerely enjoy the weather..we will surely take care and keep it neat and clean..whatever we love whoever we love don’t we think and all the time wish the best for them? Thank you so much Khaya..it is an honor for me when you visit and read the words laid there

I like the idea that we are the climate change. It places responsibility on us to do as much as we can to love this earth with action.
