Finding Our Place Poem by Mary Champion

Take note
of this eerily fey creature
slowly emerging from the abyss
of ignorance and superstition.

Take heed
for it can feel the failing pulse of the cosmos
as it courses through hyperspace.
It hears the howls of pain
issuing from Nature
whenever we try to wrench our souls from their roots-
roots immovably imbedded within its heart.

Listen, to its words
diligently tailored to their audience,
subtly spun to capture the ear of heedless Humans.

Pay attention
as it recites this mournful elegy to our dying planet.

Reflect upon its poem -
telling of our allotted place in Reality -
truth which we ignore at our peril.
