Hi everyone!

I've been busy so I forgot to write a poem. However, I decided to post a rewrite of a poem called "Mother" that I posted a while back. I read this rewrite at an open mic during this past semester and received some positive feedback on it! I've been wanting to share it with you guys for a while but I kept forgetting.

Anyway, here is the poem titled "Waiting for Your End":

I was born from
Death and Dust;
from spun Particles
and faded Lights.

I was created from
Time and Pressure;
from Lava
and Collisions.

I had no Name-
I had no Voice-
but I was Fierce-
and I was Free.

I was a Home
before the meteors.
I was a home
for your ancestors.

they gave Me names:
Gaea, Danu, Terra-
but you chose Earth
and so I Am.

I let you drink
from My rivers.
I gave you food
from My soil.

in return, you Polluted
My waters
and Razed
My dirt.

I have seen you Rise
and I have seen you Fall.
you have killed,
but I am Proud.

you have Forgotten Me.
you are Killing Me.
I cannot Flee,
yet I still Care.

Hear Me!
See me!
Leave Me!

I still have a Fire inside!
I am Still moving,
Changing.
but you have forgotten-

So I will close My eyes,
when you take your final Breath.
Lying on the Ground,
there will be Nothing left.

I hope you all enjoy it!

Also, next week I will be posting another response to a prompt. I will select one at random and I plan on spending more time with this one than I did the last time. However, I have also been struck by a story idea and I want to work to cultivate it so I may be a little late in posting again.

I hope everyone's holidays went well! Until next time!
