Geography

Life  is like a landscape 


The rolling hills and cliffs 


the ups and downs 


the high hopes
 that always get dropped 


they shatter and 
fall into the ocean 


And the ocean kisses the shore


and the shore sends it away 
and it returns again 
And the trees and plants 
grow new life 


new friends and family


but trees and plants die 
eventually


and they return to dirt 


which is built up over the years 


like layers 


and it learns that 
not everyone is kind 


and sometimes it gets walked on 


But on special days it rains


and the water washes away 
some of those layers 
and the ground feels refreshed 


So I like rainy days
