I wonder what the bird will sing
What beauty it’s song will bring
To a world desperate
For happy, caring feelings.
Will it create a place so safe
Warm and secure
That no longer feelings
Of anger and hate will permeate.
I wonder what that song will be
What melody, I don’t know
But I’ll listen to every note
That bird sings with such beauty.

Husk falls, dropping to the ground
Seeds of wonder spattered all around.
Dead or dying not necessarily their fate
Taking food, taking strength
From the earth, the ground on which
They were spat, they grow and create.
Slowly, quietly up to mighty trees
Strong and wondrous they unfold
Dropping seeds that too
Like magic wonder, grow.

Read a sentence
Write a word
Hold the past
Create the unheard
See the future
Make it real
Now in the present
Feel, feel.

Cautious, calculating moving forward
In the realm of episodes unknown.
Breathtaking, wondrous love
Coming to the ones to be known.
No more heartache of all those parting
Breaking vows not yet known.
Can’t be sorry only this alone will create
A world full of beauty, this is known.

Bad time in a bad place
See love, feel hate
In my head or just a state
Hard to focus and to create.
Bad time in a bad place.
