      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Nature And Things - Shane Ervin

      THE GREATEST BEING OF ALL

      Tree, tree, tree

      Oh how beautiful you appear to be

      Being the greatest being of all

      Spreading your arms far and wide

      Growing high above the sky

      So bold and defined

      Tree, tree, tree

      Oh how beautiful you appear to be

      In the spring showing new life

      Till the fall when you sleep like death

      Through the winter of ice and snow

      When spring finally arrives again

      Then you appear anew, reborn

      Tree, tree, tree

      Oh how beautiful you appear to be

      Until the monsters of the world

      Consumes you for greed

      Till one day you disappear without a trace

      From the face of this world

      Due to the monster inside of everyone

      FIRE AND FURY

      Fire burning bright

      All that is still

      In the burning fury of the night

      Only the quick and strong

      Run all day and through the night

      To  escape the giant furnace

      Fire burning bright

      Everything in its path

      That glows in the night

      Only the ones that stand their ground

      Won’t survive the night

      In the huge pillar of flames

      Burning bright in the night

      SPARROWS FLY AGAIN

      Sparrows in the wind

      Sparrows on the ground

      The words escape me

      Borrow a little time

      To feel the
