The moon is under-rated.

I'm trying to tell us how I absorb the sun
On yellow days.
Walking to nowhere down the hill
Inspired by the shiny backs of leaves
Surprised how free the excepting is
Taken in like i belong
Here a glint like a young smile
A pattern i discern from the background is a face welcoming me
The bark dark green absolute
Full resolutely i come there
Calm. Almost gone is that blue.
Replaced by rays and limbs and twigs dead leaves the dead the life going on
Absolute peace.

I dont want to leave.

I belong here...

If you could
channel the Earth
and hear what She
is telling you.

to see the signs of what
She wants to convey.

Could we be friends again?

With the Earth in all Her
overwhelming magnificence.

No hierarchies
or agendas

Just a hands off-
Asking for only
what we need
approach.


It's so simple.
To make earth happy again.
Do what you can to help the Earth heal.
Life last only
a short time

So few love
Can ever be shared

So few words
Can ever be said

It is not an illusion
my reason why ,
I bleed poetry

To make my life magic
Before I fade away
Let my pain now die
Grant me one wish
I ask of thee
The gift of poetry
To keep me alive!

“There is no greater agony
than bearing an untold
story inside you.” Maya Angelou

It is always better
to wait.
To let the *** brew
for things to settle a little
and get happy.

For patience is a
caged bird when
the time is not ripe.

However, the fledgling
never knows
when it is ready.
When it is time to take
that leap of faith.

When it is time
there will always
be something
to nudge you gently
off the precipice so that
you may do what you were
meant to...
and fly.
Nothing wrong with waiting...just don't overthink it.
