i’ve been
too busy
running
from heartbreak
to find
love.
in darkness
i close my eyes
and open a kaleidoscope
of consciousness
that I lose myself in
like a wave
to the sea.
Humans are rational beings
Who can rationalize their lies
And disguise them as truth.
The trees know
About the importance of
Inhaling all of the toxic things
It is given, and exhaling life;
Slowly
Letting
It
Go
Out
Into
The
Universe.
The clouds receded
Just enough
To bathe in the sun
And convince myself
That I am okay.

The stars keep me company
In the dead of night,
For they are dead too;
Ghosts of galaxies,
Cemeteries of civilizations
Never known;
And so I whisper my secrets to them,
Knowing they are gone,
And by the time my words reach them,
I will be too.
Revolutions
Grounded in ignorance,
Fear
And hatred,
Nourished by the ignorant
Fearful
And hateful
Will never flourish,
And always
Inevitably
Fall.
You can invest
In the land and the seeds
And the tools for the trees, but
Unless you invest your
Time,
Nothing
Of
Consequence
Shall
Grow.
A cold wind
Blows from my heart,
And I take cover,
Not to protect myself
But to protect others;
For while it was
Created
Inside of me,
It is a wind
I can no longer control.
