how is life treating you today

with a reflection of hope
that the past no longer exists
twisting
negatives to positives
acknowledging every smile
even when they’re turned around
hearing heaven’s answers to prayers
realizing your nirvana is the same as mine
though the space

take
the path
that humbles
the soul

the one
with few
stumbling stones

the one
where
ancients walked

as bare feet
caress the footprints
of the past
connect
to the energy
that has been left

pad purposely

unglued at the seams
spinning
out of control
crashing
in a thunderous clash

prickly pores
sensitivity intensified

breathing
the thickness
in the air

moisture
sucked into
the lungs

breathing
the darkness
breathing
the ions

an electric

the world turned upside down
bringing pain
that should not be endured

hearts
heavy
& confused

all
take a moment
of silence

hate & bitterness
shall not take hold

for strength
is our calling
to be the crutch
for

the magnificent
protecting
all

fears not
the seasonal storms
taller and grander
than most
deflects rain
absorbs pain
remaining rooted
staying true
to it’s core

birds will nest
&
