GAIA SPEAKS

Cajun Joe & Co

Moon Goddess Scratchboard 3” x 5” 1996

in the great wide world of wonder

as we wander under star kissed skies

prophets speak through great rolling thunder

as venus laughs, dances, and sighs.

there was never a time when we weren’t together.

time can’t untie this tether

we’re children of stardust laid bare to the bone.

our life force subscribed to a telephone.

I can’t focus now, can’t see through the haze

scrambling to idols and grasping for praise

The planets keep on spinning.

The stars hot to shine

the moon shines on grinning

and the dragons drink wine

and Gaia speaks…………

as the idols shout out, clamoring for time

laying down in the crowd and ignoring the signs

your big picture, it falters, and the moment has won

losing sight of the altars, our time forged in the sun.

we search in the fissures, our treasures inside

overlooking the warnings, imprisoned by pride.

our hearts remain shattered if we don’t heed the call

lurching in rebounds, crashing into the wall.

The planets keep on spinning.

The stars hot to shine

the moon shines on grinning

and my dragons drink wine

Can’t you hear Gaia speak

as fools we know laughter but ignore it in shame

when what we’re all really after is to stop playing the game

we fight with the mirror in a hellscape of blame

until you lose the great battle and you head into shame

now can you give it a name

we’re all been given chances. too many to count

no more advances to transcend

it’s to find a way out.

The planets keep spinning.

The stars hot to shine

the moon shines on grinning

while our dragons drink all the wine

Can’t you hear Gaia speak?!!!

Can you hear her voice

because it rises through you
