Earth day
comes and
goes
Everyone
forgets about
the
Sun

I want to plunge into the deep end of the ocean
Sink and watch the view
of a distorted sky above
fade

Feel the heat leave my body,
my eyes only seeing darkness
gradually enclose

I'll descend deeper

Water shielding my ears from
all noise
while suspended
In the tidal free
abyss
I am truly free
To live

We are
created
by
what we
fail
to
let go

Smile
knowing
that we all
trudge
through beautiful
entropy

We follow signs
give them authority

We constructed walls
labeled ourselves free

Move with caution
and stay between the lines

We've sanded down the corners
Removed sharp objects
We've dulled our lives

We've turned color into black and white
We've forgotten how to bleed
We measure our lives in years
We no longer compare scars

Azure blue skies
Surrenders to
Purple
And hues of
Orange-red

Shadows meld
Into the oncoming
Dark cloak
From a sinking
Star
Revealing secrets
Of cosmos past

Reaching as far as I can
Stretching each fiber to
Their limit

Plucking out of the black
A single point of light
Cupping it's energy
With my palms

The energy feeds me
Gives me strength
Nurtures the
Totality of my
Being

A new dawn approaches
