I Weep...


at my dog drifting away in the arms of the sun
at the sun blazing through tissue soft petals
at the call of the Whip-poor-Will on the tallest branch
at the lone wolf fading into dusk
at tall grasses catching an afternoon breeze
at goslings on parade
at the call of a pheasant in tall fields of corn
at gir'gling streams meandering through woods
at prairies and wetlands all gone away
at the oceans never-ending serenade
at whale song and dolphin dance
towering oaks and Spanish moss
at the smell of damp earth
at clouds
overpopulation, chemical pollution and sub-divisions
at kittens
at puppies
the wild wan'dring rose
at tenors and cellos weaving grace to the glory
at puppy mills and aerial shootings
cock fights
bear bating
bull fighting
seal clubbing
whale slaughter
genocide
terrorism
different tears
of joy
of sorrow
I weep
at
the
darkness
of
man
