My Grandpa saw the stars at night.
They twinkled brilliantly bright.
My Dad saw less stars in his youth.
He never questioned his truth.
I stare up at our night sky and see
How many stars?
Two? Three?
3:46 a.m.
on a post-rain Kansas Monday.
I try to wash away
the sleepiness
from my insomnia laden eyes,
pick a fresh sheet of paper
spread clean it almost sheens,
Take advantage while you can.
Go up to a tree and touch its thick bark.
Twently years or less they'll all be gone.
We'll soon forget what it was like to breath fresh crisp morning air.
As the wind it flew, I knew my feelings would make it through
Yet, I hid for you, I always look to your side
Those pure eyes you have, they send signals in me that i thought i would never see
The Earth is our mother and we have disrespected her
It is no surprise that we are we punshed for our behavior.
