remember the eden

remember the eden
the treasure trove,
lush, arid, liquid.
mountainous.
remember those
beings that lived
in this eden,
beautiful,
thriving.
keeping the fragile
balance.
so many have left us,
never again to be seen.
relegated to history books.
art work.
dusty photos.
drifting memories away.
what will our children,
their children,
earth mother's children
have left
if we are not the voices
of those who remain.
remember the eden.
it will never come
again.
