If We Died?

Has anyone noticed,
From the cuckoo in the hall,
To the homeless on the streets,
To the good who never call,

From the dead of the night
To the crisp morning air,
From the colors of the sunrise
To a sunset-bound affair.

To a whisp of a sapling
To a tall, sturdy tree,
To the grass between our toes,
Leading all straight back to me...

Does anyone notice?
Better yet, even care?
For the sick, we don't cure,
For the weak, we don't dare.

And to the grass, we leave dead,
From the trees, poison leaks,
In the air, toxin fills,
From the lake, polution peeks.

And ask yourself, people,
If we answered deaths call,
Would all of nature
Even care at all?

False Bloom

This is the smell of nostalgia filling my nostrils, The smell of freshly burnt hay, a smell of late summer.

Snow

Ice cold whiteness Such a soft form of chaos. It blankets us in paleness, Yet snow is so peaceful. Children laughing in the distance And the faint echo of what's beneath.

The Light Of Early Autumn

Another day, aglow in. The light of early autumn. Ticks by, carefree and willing,. Unrelenting in its beautiful. Slow death,. Reaching out and peeling reddened. Leaves from the bony fingers of trees,.

Save

Tomorrow is another day, Yet today is still so long Perhaps I'll sacrifice and pray Or write another song But songs and poems make no difference To whether the earth stay blue or green The challenge...

The Weeping Willow

Mr Willow Tree Are you really weeping. Are your branches Hiding your sorrow. I sit beneath you Silently sobbing Covering my face From the winds of tomorrow Are we twins Locked in grief.
