GRIEF Poem: Gaia’s Sorrow, by Samuel Snodgrass

The sky is dark and vast.
Wrapped around Gaia like a sad, dark cast.
Raindrops fall like silent tears.
The sound not reaching our ears.
Leaves rustle gently in the breeze.
Wind that sounds more like a wheeze.
The sun blocked off by vast darkness.
The wind lashes out with such harshness.
The animals hide in fear of death.
The world goes quiet and holds its breath.
A darkness that grows and never leaves.
A world that goes and silently grieves.
