The new earth
Releases the petrichor’s
A feeling
After the long drought
As the damp
Water falls on the parched
Earth
I smell the must
Of water
Into the
Sky
Amidst
The worry of the
Dry
The set in water
Eases the earth
Back into life
The season is upon us
Where the blankets come out
The echos are a little more
Crisp
With a reprieve from
The summer heat
The light becomes a bit
More orange
Than the summer blue
And the winter will roll in
Right over
Me and you
Are we concerned
For each other
Or do we just want
Something from
One another
Are we seeking to help
Or seeking to hate
What is the direction
That we will take
Not in our words
But in our actions
Today
The seeds
Of the tree
Grew strong
With hope and optimism
Sunlight and water
Showered the seedling to life
As the tree grew
So the world changed
And no longer needed a tree
It needed a table
So the tree in
It’s most innocent hour
Surrendered to the knife of the
Searcher
Capital seeker
And with the tree down
A family will gather around
A forgotten piece of life
Yet in this grey space of confusion
Is where I am lost for words
For the way of life can be short and fast
Or not
So to learn what we can
While we can
Is what we can
Do
I walked the shores
Where my feet fell
Just under the crunch of the
Sand
Stones and mixed
Soil
The water lapped the edge
Of the lake
As I felt the zephyr on my face
I remembered a better time
A time not too long ago
But long enough
To feel it could be letting go
So I breathed in that zephyr
And live to see another
Day
As trendy as the
day that
we arrive
To workshop
for the new
Future
The defining feature
Of choice
Clothes
Draped over the shoulder
As we walk
We have chosen the clothes
We wear as a
Statement
Some true
Some confusing
But either way
A way of expressing me
To you
The new way
Of creating
Waves
But it’s not the real
World that
We see
The fake balloons
On the streeet
For celebrations
That we aren’t invited to
So celebrate life
As we live
In our circle of influence
Everyday
The elite don’t give
Two thoughts about you
They spread their wings
And fly like overlords
Controlling your basic
Thoughts
And feelings
Just to crush you
To create you
A new you
Simple you
Full of nothing but
Barbies movie nonsense
Fluff and syrup
Running through our veins
To change
One must approach
Life with a skeptical eye
Focused on what’s right
Rather than the other side
So enlist me in this endeavor of
Finding what is best
In life
