This is something I wrote a while ago. A letter that I really doubt will ever be sent.



Dear my sweetest most beautiful lover,

I’m writing to apologise.

Apologise for the planet. The whole universe.

I’m sorry that the polar ice caps are melting. Disappearing into an increasingly bottomless blue-green pool.  The animals of the north hope and pray to be rescued.

I’m sorry that every day, more of natures wonderful green heavens are slashed, brutally murdered, leaving the bare ground helpless. Whilst creatures scream with pain and hurt, as their lives fall down before them.

I’m sorry that our fellow beings force poisoned clouds of thick smoke and dust into our pure blue sky. Coating our world in sticky chemicals. Forcing the shining gold stars back into the darkness of the night.

I’m sorry that children and families live in hell; scraping their way around the roots of life, whilst their companions breeze through the highest branches, completely arrogant to the suffering of those other than themselves.

I’m sorry that so many lives are wasted, so many friendships ruined, as weapons and disagreement force cracks into our communities. Vicious hostility breaking us apart.

I’m sorry that the heavenly sanctuary that we once lived in is rapidly twisting and turning, reincarnating into a giant battle scene; a war between nature and mankind.   

I’m sorry that I can not save you from this.

With all my love, hugs, kisses

Penny
