Yawn

Mother

its all falling apart
grey buildings to dust
faded vibrance slipping
into the drain
as the concrete walls
break apart
the green things show up
planted inside the dead
the still beating heart
of mother pumps
life back into our death
and green spreads to red
and yellow
and blue.

----------

Symphonics

were all just a note
slow vibrations
to make up the music
of this screaming symphony
but i want to be accented
to fly above the others
perfectly in tune
but above it all
for just a moment
before i fade back into the song
that will never end.

A roll?

Shaken

the world had shaken
or atleast mine
when it collapsed
land disappeared
and river reappeared
they sank in tin coffins
but
hope didn't fall
as people plunged
so did others
to bring help
to bring life
they forgot the risks
and though a bridge had crumpled
hope had been replenished

--------

Forests

I walked
where it felt no one had
where trees were scary
and animals unpredictable
the sun was fierce
and the wind even worse
then i sat
and became it
because i had stopped
trying to make an order
a place for the moss
and it grew over me
and i became it
when i had to leave
it came with me
and never left

------

We Walked

i've given up
with no hope
the sun burned
and the shade froze
no one would stop
but you did
and i stood up with you
and we talked
you didn't worry my wounds
we talked
of life
of light
darkness even
and though nothing was changed
it was all different

Lots. .

Red Cheeks

i saw your red cheeks
puffing as you ran
unable to breathe
from exertion
but it was beautiful
to see so much hope
unbound
and giving
a world had scarred
but you still ran
with the hope of finding
and holding that love
with your cheeks still red


------------------


Try

i tried
and one day it caught
and the gears fell in place
the machine turned on
and i felt its joy
as it leapt to please
to bring about the hope
i had fought
so many battles
to try to find this moment
and i tried
and it caught
and i will never forget
i tried

-------

Beat

feel it
deep within you
that simple beat
of life
thought it falls silent
the ones it bounced with
wont be silent
and the drums wont stop
but even they cant drown
out your own rhythm
that you gave
for the world
because its all you had
