 But the Sun is Fine

The sky is purple from poisons,
The water an oily green,
Trees are tired and withered,
Rivers and soil bleed.


My friends are black or white,
(untruths)
The rich are bloated blue from their decadence,
The homeless are invisible and out of sight.

The ancient ones are cast aways,
The youth literally live in a virtual reality,
The earth and all our hopes are tied together
Like a twisted ball of yarn. 

The north is red faced with shame,
The south red necked with ignorance,
The women indigo from the exhaustion 
of having to remain young looking,
The men drunk stupid from  focusing 
on money, sex and sports,
No body trusts anyone anymore.

The animals are frightened, 
The plants would flee if they could.

But fear not!

The sun is feeling frisky and creative,
And keeps sending us nothing but warmth and color.
We shall adapt, 
We always do, 
This is the dark before a new dawn..


The world will become as we dream it to be.

LOST & FOUND



A VERY LONG GAME OF LOST & FOUND


He isn’t angry any more
Like he almost always was before.
He wasn’t ready to feel the hurt,
He ran and hid and closed the door
For he was just a little boy
Who felt unsafe and lost his joy.

He isn’t hiding anymore,
He’s picked himself up off the floor,
His heart is open,
Raw and sore,
His winged grief
Is free to soar.

He cries now at a drop of affection,
An ounce of attention,
Lost and alone for 
Oh so long,
His truer voice now 
Sings his song. 

It doesn’t matter
How long he’s been gone,
What matters now
Is that he’s coming out strong
To grieve and play
To love and to learn
How to breath and embrace
All the life

For which he’s yearned.
