i heard it say
"don't trust your thoughts
as the clouds too will disguise this horizon"

false paths for walking
a theoretical projection to a place unknown
unreachable in every way but obtainable through lies

I heard it said before, "don't believe your thoughts"
but never from within
never so loud and brimming with confidence I do not know

in that moment, Gaia labored for her breath,
as the treetops bent to bow with a colorful homage,
accented pink and pollen green

flowers bloomed, non-flowers too
and the earth felt right
even as it still feels wrong
