The lyrics are about something we both care deeply about. And she was the one to write this inspiring poem. And artwork of course.Thank you so much for your very fine compliments. They go a long way!

Powerful penned, Elke and Gus. Excellent collaboration you two. Great lyrics, Elke and excellent music, Gus. Your guitar tone has a little Neil Young vibe going on. Top notch both of you. Appreciate you, both.

I bow most reverently to Sappho ‘n Gus 🙏
Stunningly beautiful, You Two, in every sense of the word.
Artwork choice, title, and the Envelope Form in its abba rhyme-scheme (with spot-on and soft rhymes), work perfectly together, just as writing and musical skills came together in rendering this lovely, impacting virtual masterpiece in homage to Mother Earth’s ever dwindling beauty and life sustaining wonders.Simply, an enthralling co-write … love it deeply!
Thank you both! ⁓ Richard🖌Nits:
(Check V1-L3, “get” may have been meant as “yet”. Final stanza, L1, should “plead” be “plea”?) 🤓-

There is a lot of work to be done to raise awareness of nature’s uniqueness and to call for its protection. But we won’t give up!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my dear fellow campaigner, for your wonderful comment!

Beyond being so very literate, this poem simply glows with passion and gratitude. It gives me hope in humanity that such a person as you lives on the same beloved Earth as I. I feel very glad that you have experienced this and that I have at least a remote connection to your very special being, dear Elke. Warmly, Jim

Your warm words make me blush, dear Jim! I am just an ordinary person like anyone else. We all belong to the human species. We were born on this planet in different appearance and with different attitudes. We should support one another instead of bringing us down and fighting us. Thanks a lot for your gracious comment!

Great write Elke….the moon has a lot to answer for but not quite as much as our minds.🙏

Thank you very much for reading and writing such a kind comment, dear Peter! I think Lady Moon doesn’t address our mind in the first place. She speaks directly to our heart and soul, and inspires our creativity and intuition.

The perfect piece for our extra bright sister above! How you began each cinquain with “Tonight” is very momentous, with an unexpected surprise at the end. This made me smile an ol’ cheshire grin. Wonderful write!

I’d like to speak in defense of the Moon… 🤣
Sappho, I love how your dance around the bonfire leads to the fire of passion and that you take full credit for your desire!!! I think we humans have always loved howling at the moon and our desires for intimacy. May our howling and intimacy make the moon shine full and bright!!!!
