Death

Death is inevitable,
It’s something you can’t escape,
it comes ever closer,
taking its shape.

If it’s the barrallel if a gun
or a deadly disease,
It comes ever closer
not hearing your pleas.

If it’s the spikes of jealousy,
or the poison of betrayal,
The story of death,
is always a sad tale.

Impacted

Time
a compulsory conveyor belt
dragging me towards the inevitable
i postpone acknowledgment
i sedate certain thoughts with diversion
but upon approaching collision
recognition infects my mind
anxiety mounts
i squirm, i struggle
i throw myself back in opposition
all pointless
i brace for impact.

Litter

When I was but a child
To litter seemed a scandelous crime
As we were taking a walk one day
I vowed
That I’d bring
My plastic grabby tool out
And clean it all up
...
We got home
Milk and cookies
Was all it to took
For me to forget
...
A couple of years later
I saw a piece of plastic in our yard
I picked it up
Brought it home
And disposed of it
Feeling great about myself
...
The year after my brother happened to have a park cleanup
At his school
I had time
So I thought,
Why not?
I came along
Used funky tools
Counted each piece I picked up
Feeling good about myself
Then I went home
To eat some cookies
...
The next time I saw a piece of trash,
I acknowledged there wasn’t anything much I would do about it
...
After that I stopped noticing all together

They instill the knowledge in kids
That littering is bad
But just words
Are words
Until we put in a team effort
Rather than acknowledging others will do it for us
Or that it’s too hopeless
Nothing will ever get done

whatever happens love that

change is terrifying
no matter who you are
change is scary
knowing change is coming and having no idea what that change is
well
that can be even worse
or when change hits you like a train
even when there are no train tracks
indicating the remote possibility of its crossing
change is inevitable
change allows growth
don’t resist
don’t fight
don’t yell at it and tell it to go away
it is here to help you
to guide you
so let it

I recently read a book called "Matchmaking for Beginners" and the title of this poem was the motto of a character in the book. She was full of life and took on everything with love and happiness and she was someone I would like to be more like and that is what inspired this poem.

The Raven and the Lovers

Two bold butterflies flutter by
Like lovers, reaching up to kiss the sky

Down swoops a radiant raven
Beak open and ready for the ****

Yet as it speeds down
It falters and glides past

Today it spares the lovers
While it carries on it's merry way looking for another meal

They were ignorant to the danger,
Consumed by eachothers love and blind to the world

The raven was like a warning of an unavoidable conflict
Possible to stall, inevitable in the end

But not today,
Today is for the butterflies

I wrote this after watching two butterflies avoid getting eaten by a bird at the park today while cloud gazing.
