My World
Description
Poetry Written in Support of those Affected by the October 2017 CA Firestorm.
My World
By Cynthia Phipps
I held the world inside my hand
The sea, the flowers, the vine
I held the grass between my fingers
Not knowing it was mine
I moved the marble with my thumb
It changed the light within
Then let it rest against my palm
to feel its strength again
I dusted off the fallen ash
that changed the world I knew
And found my world with new scars
that carried beauty too
The heat had cracked the inner core
Altering the view I see
It changed the mountains and rivers
and the faces close to me
How can I stare into the sphere
and ignore the cracks within
until I hold it to the sky
and take its beauty in
Oh broken world, please rise up
mend the the rivers and the trees
Heal the animals and people
change the wind into a breeze
Let the mountains bloom in color
and the rainbows fill the sky
Let the people share a smile
As their neighbors pass on by
Bring communities together
to fill the gap from all that's gone
Teach us hope and understanding
as we learn to carry on
I held the world inside my hand
It bled a message into me
That every face in its reflection
Is just one big family
So I wrapped my palm around the world
and prayed for our dear land
to mend the cracks inside the core
of the world inside my hand
