wind rushes across
water, temperature falls and
our alert rises
wind rushes across
water, temperature falls and
our alert rises
little lives changing
their survival exposed
kindness is reward
blank pages scarred
black ink wounds bleed ideas
healing words formed
paid by syllable
so choose your words wisely
the world is counting
discarded puppies
innocent animals
suffer needlessly
lazy sunday driving
monkey spotting, bird watching
no destination
bubbly, frothy
we clink our cheery bottles
poison elixir
violent violet
skies, squalid shower surprise
wind whipped wavelets
she dances easy
over the boisterous seas
quiet, calm strength
you learn to notice
the things you do not see
and trust your senses
