I peer out
As I sit here on this tree
looking out on the views beyond
The sun setting against the gentle landscape
The rolling hills, outlined by a deep forest
looking at the tall purple mountains
the copse of trees in the valley
the grass blows in the wind
underneath the sky
sitting
here
tall
proud
loved
bold
brave
wise
wild
I can see all the wonders of the world from here on this tree

I know bad tree! But I should get points for trying ;)

The same (Maybe)

If you closed your eyes
just for a second
we would all be the same
we would be equal
tall
short
fat
thin
happy
sad
black
white
None of this would matter
because we would all be the same
but are we really?
are we all just the same?
this is a good question
because I don't know
Now,
just for this second
this second of silence
try to imagine this place
the place of equality
can you see it?

Lost Gravity

Once planted on earth
But when those few words fell smoothly from your lips
I lifted off
Just floating in space
The air swirling around me
I speak but no sound forms
my words slur together
In this open space
Gravity has no hold on me
but am I free?
This state of madness
A different world
Engulfed in nothingness
but am I free?
You can't hold me back
No one can
but am I free?

Anyone feel like when you give something space to live and bloom, and you protect it, the thing leaves you at the first chance it gets?

Up here

Come here
Join me up here
Here in the sky
Up in the clouds
In the heights
Come up here with me
It's better here
There's no anger
No hate
No bullying
Up here in the sky
There is only peace
Join me
Join me in this escape
From the hell that lies below
From the madness that holds you back
But me..
I am free
I'm free up here in the sky

Hello grass

Hello grass
Hello dirt
Hello to the dust and roots
The soil underneath my fingertips
The feel of grass along my face
I feel welcomed
You punch me
Over and over
I fall
My face to the ground
The grass greets me like an old friend
Bleeding
Bruised
I get back up
Just to be knocked down
once again
The grass welcomes me with
Its soft touch
Rolling onto my back
I look up
I'm glad I'm not up there
I'm glad I'm here
Down on earth

Lying on the grass

The Endless Mountain

Read this from the bottom|||||SCROLL DOWN/READ UP
and I fall                                                         D
Suspended in the air
Then my feet                                                       O
My hand leaves its hold
My voice comes as a hoarse whisper
"F l y"                                                                             W
Will I fly?
Will I fall?
I can't go any higher
This never ending mountain continues forever                           N
It is no different
I look down
I can only see an endless abyss of clouds
I look at the sky above me
I grab the ledge
My feeble hand reaches up
Higher
Yet I keep going
I know I can't
I can't make it
Higher
Higher
Climbing this endless mountain
Up this never ending cliff
I heave a breath and I continue
My legs slowly grow weaker
My arms shudder
My shoulders ache
Higher
Higher
And I can only go up
My hand leaves a streak of blood that now lines my cheek
I wipe a tear from my eyes
The cliff makes deep cuts in my palms
Higher
Higher
Up
The only way
My breath comes short and rough
I scale the jagged rocks
Higher
Higher
Is go up
And all I can do
The bottom is far beneath me
Higher
Higher
I can only climb up
It's peak lies hidden in the heights of the clouds
I am clutching to the side of this endless mountain
