grasping at the wind
grasping at the wind
in Spring equinox days and longer nights,
man counts his achievements over
twenty one centuries of civilisation...
the ground warms up
seas swell higher
and mankind has lost it's kindness.
I live by an empty church-
the graveyard holds more life.
My dog chases a rabbit into wild bushes.
and I pick fresh flowers by the headstones.
Puffy clouds hold the balance of
sunlight and rain,
hail scatters outside new buildings full of neon.
But bombs fall from that same sky
in the Middle East
and children cry in the dirt.
But there are still blossoms
petals fall at my feet,
yesterday a rainbow arced over a highway full of potholes
while my car kept moving.
I say my prayers,
and wait for answers...
a fat pigeon sings on my fence.
I feel the wind blow warmly through my hair...
fulfilling dreams of justice.
