GODDESS OF COMPASSION:

She wept tears of feathers, every time a bird was caged,

She wept tears of blood, whenever a new war was waged,

She wept tears of spume, as man abused all oceans & seas,

She wept tears of leaves, at the poor felling of all her trees,

She was the Goddess of compassion.

 

Her tears were of fur, claw & hair, with every beast that fell,

Her tears were of talon, scale & hoof, of every emptied shell,

Her tears were of sad old ivory, antenna, wing & hunted horn,

Her tears washed the earth, at every dusk & dawning morn,

She was the Goddess of compassion.

 

Where has the old Goddess gone, her tears now all dried?

Where has nature now hidden, her hope has all but died?

Where oh where now, have all the worldly wonders gone?

Where are the places, where the rain fell & sun once shone?

She was the Goddess of compassion.

 

The Goddess is now back, within teardrops of soft rain,

The Goddess is now back, here to alleviate all our pain,

The Goddess is now back, merely believe, listen & see,

The Goddess is now back, compassion is her only plea,

She is the Goddess of compassion.
