as the world crumbles

 

 

we watch the trees

breathe murky air

we cling we claw we bury

 

we follow form and feature

through a crazed and concrete world

 

implications abound

 

each gesture

each sign

every symbol

each word

every prayer

 

is for Peace

Living lightly

 

concentric circles, a floating sphere

all is transparent here

 

harmonic spirals, fruit and flowers

this gorgeous world of ours

 

you were living well, devoid of hell

happy but then one day

 

conjecture and pretence

she smiled

and beguiled

 

you

 

lost your sense

 

spirit knew but would not to say

how to find the will and way

home

 

you grew your hair to way down there

you left your family and friends

 

you lived lightly off the land

off the grid

 

you lived lightly  

day and nightly 

and you prayed
