i wish
i could write the smell of late summer rain
the way it feels on parched skin
and the way it disappears in a puff of dust
when gravity returns gaia to gaia
i wish i knew why
for the love of god
man subverted
the love of god
twisted it and warped it
to claim the love of god
for war and death and the devil and evil
when we are nothing more than a raindrop
and god is the earth

I found lots of interesting information on amandzing.wordpress.com. The post was professionally written and I feel like the author has extensive knowledge in the subject. amandzing.wordpress.com keep it that way.

You’ll get there…feast or famine. I’ve been through those dry spells myself.
