Word Vomit

I sleep with worries
Shrouding my brain
And wake up with nightmares
They sting and drain
Distractors are welcome
Please spare me some time

If Europe has its star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, Japan and China (where the Tanabata Festival originated) have Orihime and Hikoboshi. Legend says that Orihime, the daughter of a god, had a job to weave elegant and beautiful clothes for the gods beside a river (Milky Way). And since this job requires a lot of time and effort, Orihime grew lonely. Seeing that his daughter is sad, her father arranged for her to meet a cow herder named Hikoboshi, who lived on the other side of the Milky Way.

She stopped weaving clothes and he stopped herdin...

It is everybody's responsibility to act and care for Mother Earth regardless of age. The first step in creating impact is awareness. Without awareness, there won't be action, and without action, there won't be change. And change we must so we can pass the gift of nature to the next generation. Make an impact and share your thoughts! #CNE1EarthMonth2018
