She gives us trees, grass, and birds.
She gives us deer;she gives us air.
She brings us into the world and guides us to the next.

Some of us help her grow.
Most of us only take.
We ignore her and she cries.

She weeps for us.
For herself.
Can you not see the rain?

The author's comments:
This came to me as I was watching the rain more than sprinkle but not quite pour. It made me feel hopelessly sad. As if the world were crying.
