summer is doused with rain
summer is
flying with clipped wings
...
What of the grass or the lilies
The spacious sky of milky blue
...
In a competition, surely would I lose
with all these weaknesses that I did not choose.
And in disappointment would I turn my eyes low
searching on the ground for some pride to borrow.
...
Sheer and calm,
these oceans have saved many lives.
...
quiet are the crickets
when they laugh in the night.
softly does the grass rustle
as it spouts.
...
denial and doubt
infused into
streams of tears
rampantly run
...
It isn't a constant downward spiral
Nothing is ever so simple
...
People everywhere strive to be strong.
Life long enemies are trying to get along.
Even with the universal effort to be right,
Everything's going so wrong.
