My World

Today I paused

to look at Mother

Earth and her wonders. I saw

the Sun stretch

his fingers across the Clouds

and the Clouds

carried his colors across the sky.  I saw

an endless dome curving

above my head, sinking

into a darkly hued arc of

possibility in pinpricked Space

where the Universe’s light came

peeking out to shine on my blessed

bent head, while the fragrance

of the Earth and her blooms

swelled up to breeze

across my face. I knew   

these spectrums and glows,

spaces and breaths,

were mine.

April Fools!

THE WORLD IS A SOULLESS DEMON THAT WILL DEVOUR YOU ALIVE. YOUTH OF AMERICA ABANDON ALL HOPES AND DREAMS NOW.
