Mother Earth

by Kristine Briese

We pluck her forbidden fruit
Yet she holds us in her wounded womb
Protecting us from ourselves

I love the thought, though I think her protection of us is quickly losing its umph.

Very Nice Images. The natural order of things has a way of making corrections, that we humans cannot affect or control.

i think she'll keep protecting us as long as she can, but who knows how much longer that will be if we continue the path we're on... fantastic write as always

NICE! :) I haven't seen you do this style much. It's a great snapshot.
