Nature's Love Story Poem by Mariam de Haan

She called his name but he could not hear
So she watered the Earth with her tears.
From these tears rivers flowed
Came the salty oceans of which we know.
Her tears helped the plants grow
And the animals grazed to and fro.

She called his name but he could not hear
So she screamed and struck the Earth, igniting our fear.
We climb upon his mountains
That reached towards her all in vain.
We claim that she is heaven.
As we walk between them we can't see their pain.

She called his name and now he could hear
Because finally, in that moment they were near.
She travelled to him in the fog.
And I'll tell your their secret,
Only in foggy mist
Can these two lovers meet and kiss.
