Mother Nature's Child

by Chris Sorrenti


Got the news today
That I’d be leaving

So many memories drowning me
Too many things left undone

Einstein said
Energy can neither be created or destroyed
Only passed from one form to another
Time to find out if it’s really true

Don’t need a church to tell me that I’m saved
I know what’s on the other side

Done some bad
Done some good
Won’t be the first time I’ve been on trial

Thinking to myself
Must be half crazy to believe what I’m believing
But all around I see the power
In everyone and everything

Whenever felt the uncertainty
Calling upon the magic spell

Read these words with an open mind
Let them move
Let them mark you...

No mother nature
In killing me
You won’t have stopped but only changed me

I love the "if" in your author's note, Chris. I like how you look the inevitable squarely in the face. "Thinking to myself Must be half crazy to believe what I’m believing But all around I see the power In everyone and everything" - great stanza. Thanks!
