Why Not?

Why leave the comfort and safety of home?
Why roam into danger completely alone?

Why go out into the swirling wind and the cold?
Why do the opposite of what you are told?

How long have you been planning on climbing that wall?
Are you not afraid of a fatal fall?

I am very different and not very tall
There is more danger for me in not going at all

Souled Out

Disconnected from our surroundings
Fixated in acquiring lots of things
So much trauma and drama this brings
Spend time in nature until the spirit sings
Life is a majestic waterfall
For all Beings large and small
Even before the moment we are born
Gravity and Being are never torn
Slow down your pace, no need to rush
The rosebud will get its time to blush
Before we know it we grow angel wings
Just in time to perch and make soft landings

Nature is Dead

Gone are the dragonflies
No more chasing butterflies
Eerie silence in the woods
Gang bangers in the 'hoods
No more larvae for the birds
Nature uses all their turds
Can we undo what we did?
What is left for your kid?
