Creator Weeps

A plea of humanity

She made us 

So through our eyes

She could view the beauty

Of her every creation

From stone to mountain

Leaf to forest canopy

Microbe to running herds

She weeps for us

Cease the nonsense

The hate, the killing

Genocide

Within our hearts 

She left a jeweled chamber vast

Where she hid the Secret

A chalice for us to polish

Not let rust with misuse

Meant to hold only her love

That we then pour into the world

If your heart

Be not scarred by the sorrow, fear

And pain of others

She names you not a human being

Stop turning away

We have a duty 

Give, give, give of yourself

Then give even more

She weeps for us

She made our hands strong

To finger the strings upon

The lute of love

To grasp the hand 

Of fellow beings

Reach out to those in need

With open palms to feed

Every type of hunger

Let her smile for us

A most lovely poem close to my heart in its message. I try to live in harmony with nature seeing few people in the midst of nature surrounded by tropical forest I appreciate the birds, flowers and animals and try not to intervene (except to swat an occasional mosquito or fly) This poem speaks to man's needed relationship to nature. Well done

Beautifully written… Reach out to those in need.. with open palms to feed every type of hunger.
Sentimentally along my train of thought about Our World and Creator…
Let’s all Live out Our Best Lives and in Harmony with Nature!

Lovely is right. This harkens me to the commercial with "Iron Eyes Cody" and the impact of the tear rolling down his cheeks. ~Jim

Thanks for reading Jim.

Sad for us and the world itself that the prevailing idea of what defines the pinnacle of humanity is often guided by our own worst impulses. And how easily we bury the voice within that naturally calls out for justice. It is hard to function emotionally and intellectually in this world so deeply defined by injustice. I hope the creator does mourn looking on. I need a creator who mourns in loving all creation equally rather than one who embraces tribalism, greed, and pettiness as humans so often do. This is a very thoughtful plea, and good reminder to seek out our humanity and share it wherever we can. To fight for those who can’t fight for themselves— or just need help. We need more thoughts like this.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you for a very generous review!

Thanks for reading. And your kind words.

Well, this female deity seems to be an improvement over the male Abrahamic god. No bullying, no head busting or taking sides. I'm still not sure about gods with genders, though. As soon as I got comfortable with this one, I might find out she and her fellow goddesses were getting together for lunch and gossiping about me behind my back.

[Michael Sun Bear]

We are the stuff of God, so it stands to reason this Creator has all attributes of gender. It is a failure of our language that there is no name or label that properly expresses this. I like to use the feminine when referring to the act of creation as giving birth is a feminine act. And yes, I did enjoy your humor.

Yes, "Every Type of hunger" and there are many types, especially the hunger for love, peace and understanding.
We so have to stop turning away because if we do, what are we really turning to?

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you for reading and commenting Jacob.

Many will argue about the details of the Creator watching us --- male? Female? Hebrew? Something else? And yet, all will agree that the Creator is looking, and they are weeping. We are not creations the be proud of these days, and honestly, it sometimes feels like its getting worse.

You do a fantastic job of making this relationship between creator and creation the highlight of the piece without taking away from the overall message. Its speaks on the horrid truths of the world around us today in a way that is both prophetic and poetic, without feeling preachy. Sometimes preachy is good! But it wouldnt have fit here and you do amazing at steering away from that. The poem itself is solid and I sincerely enjoyed the read from beginning to end.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Emunah, you are a good friend. Thank you for the generous sharing of thoughts.

so sad for mother nature and those in need. respect for humanity begins with a healthy respect for nature. we are inextricably linked. good sentiment herein.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you Pete for reading and responding.

Michael Sun Bear, Oh! An Indian name! I love it!
Even here I have been stomped on by the very ones who warned me!
Humans are the most vicious animals.
We have to be reminded to watch out for the hands that feeds us.
I love your writing!

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you, I am flattered. My name actually was given to me by my Sufi Guide after I had worked with her for about a year.
