The Fate of Humanity
written by: Joni Caggiano

sand left by doting fairies, sifting from somnolent eyes, as I awake from sleep
during the hours of words that drift between lovers, without needing to speak
I am awakening to water surrounding my bed, as mermaids with golden scales
laughing tender vocal notes with my velvet bunnies, now spinning infantile tales
their stuffing floating in the indigo waters, as a mermaid is whispering in my ear,
you must love with an active passion, or this earth may turn to dust, is our fear
she ties her bright red hair around my small waist in case I fall from my tiny bed
outside the house, water is high in the yard, as I perceive an overwhelming dread
nature cries in unison, as the old soul of a giant weeping willow senses my fears
limbs tangling as she is drowning with a million sad memories giving birth to tears
is it too late for us to truly love God and one another, I asked the angel carrying me
only God knows my dear, rest, as we glide over the gracious life that lives in the sea
her wings smelling of love, humpback whales breeching as dolphins and seals swim
waters teeming with energy will wait to see the hopeful fate of humans once again
