#permafrost - Hello Poetry

Permafrost can go As deep as 2 miles into The earth Way down there Are these plants Still alive and Waiting to be Discovered or Thawed out There's all this Living stuff Underneath us Just waiting to bloom

What if Creator Was not so grand? What if Creator Was a grain of sand? What if Creator Was simply bland? Would we glory in death and ****** Would we pretend we never heard Her? Would we love each other more? or Would we open a Sacred door? If Creator were nothing more Than all the electrons ever formed, Creator would be: Timeless, Infinite, Omniscient, Everything, and More… Would we accept a notion like this? Would fundamentalists balk or twist? Would Atheists be found or lost? Would we freeze in permafrost? Would we seek Divine ballet? Would we still kneel to pray? Or would we: War some more? Ignore some more? ***** some more? Work some more? Explore some more? Invent some more? Love some more? Or just ignore? Would our lives even change? Would we still call someone strange? Would we even miss a beat? Would we ever try to cheat? Would evil men change to nice? Would we still farm our rice? Would a killer give a hug? Would any of us do a drug? Would our lives remain as cheap? Would we never awake from sleep? I don’t know.

Remain complacent and confused Content to be lost With a heart that stirs In the permafrost Run on through the empty streets Hands open Eyes closed Breathing in the cool air Growing numb from the cold Still don't let your heart thaw You'll feel one beat and then another Warmth so different from the frost Just the thought it makes me shudder I was burnt once before Dark hot fingers scarred my soul If my heart goes warm again I fear it'd shatter Leaving holes Run into the unknown Seeking a freezer for a heart Before it's beaten by the world Forever covered by it's marks It's grown so dark you'll never see But do not dare to light a match For if you do you might feel warmth You might consider turning back

Permafrost Heart

Remain complacent and confused Content to be lost With a heart that stirs In the permafrost Run on through the empty streets Hands open Eyes closed Breathing in the cool air Growing numb from the cold Still don't let your heart thaw You'll feel one beat and then another Warmth so different from the frost Just the thought it makes me shudder I was burnt once before Dark hot fingers scarred my soul If my heart goes warm again I fear it'd shatter Leaving holes Run into the unknown Seeking a freezer for a heart Before it's beaten by the world Forever covered by it's marks It's grown so dark you'll never see But do not dare to light a match For if you do you might feel warmth You might consider turning back

I’m nothing but a monolith of ice and gravel. Stuck in these wintry doldrums. Waiting, waiting for the time when the birds return home and Sol’s warm light puts life back in these bones of permafrost. It is then she’ll come dancing and singing like the days when we were young.

Spring Never Came

I’m nothing but a monolith of ice and gravel. Stuck in these wintry doldrums. Waiting, waiting for the time when the birds return home and Sol’s warm light puts life back in these bones of permafrost. It is then she’ll come dancing and singing like the days when we were young.
