Standing on the Precipice of Time....
Watching the birds fall from the sky...
Life is getting lifeless... listless, unruly
And who or what is killing the bees?
Flowers that have lost their fragrance...
Words that have double meanings -
Life is filled with uncertainty - surely.
I observe the mountains as they melt
Into the ****** sea
Fish are floating - not swimming
Animals disappearing while lifeless, lonely trees
Seem to glare at the sun
Begging for air - no oxygen to spare
What has happened to this paradise of ours?
Did we fall asleep and slumber too much
While wasting the hours?
Did we think it would last forever
While we tended it not...
Consuming, consuming - eating & drinking
Leaving it all in a pile to rot
I've just been writing and writing more - more or less as an exercise to practice writing everyday. I am a writer and have been since I picked up my first crayon; only in those days it was just scribble-scratch on a piece of yellow construction paper. Still, I knew my thoughts had meaning - I just did not have the ability to put it in an understandable format yet.
