Another echo
Like a day lived many times
Coming to a close
With heavy eyes
On into the next
Bound to rise
To do it all again
Try to change
At least one little thing
Break
No more days on repeat
Another echo
Like a day lived many times
Coming to a close
With heavy eyes
On into the next
Bound to rise
To do it all again
Try to change
At least one little thing
Break
No more days on repeat
In flux
This constant transition
Shine in the light
Glisten in the dark
Take on new shapes
Escape the aged husk
Dirt in my eyes
Dust in my mouth
Mud in my veins
Embodiment of Earth
I’m all that remains
Pained by the ignorance of a species gone wrong
I grow weaker as they’re growing strong
Valued, claimed and depleted
So sick and fevered, my surface so heated
Greeted by death from afar
If you can’t see it coming, you’re not looking very hard
Tars, oils and minerals refined
Countless syringes stealing what’s inside
Dirt in my eyes
Dust in my mouth
Mud in my veins
Embodiment of Earth
I’m all that remains
Slain by the ignorance of a species gone wrong
I grow weaker as they’re growing strong
Broken down as they build it up
The natural balance, untenable
Corrupt
Eruptions of power are my retaliation
Mutual destruction
My mutilation
Utilize my body, try to get ahead
I’ll see your end long before I’m dead
Burning the skies, clearing them out
I’ll erase it all with famine, sickness and drought
Don’t doubt I’ll cut them loose
I am the Earth
I don’t need you
Feel the change of the tides
Waves crashing in
See the water rise
Reflections of sky
High, clouded peaks
Overhead, as so beneath
You see them cresting now
Keeping your head above the deep
Daily tribute
Trying to progress
Change won’t come easy
You have to invest
Spend yourself wisely
Scout the path ahead
And if occasion calls
Gamble everything instead
Ever becoming
Changing
Seeking a stable form
Lifetime in synthesis
Metamorphosis boy
Seeking joy
A place in the world
Taking flight
I leave my crack in the wall
Last ditch effort
Pay the price
The way forward isn’t free
Spend your body, spend your mind
Invest yourself wisely
Try to garner some returns
No risk taken, no reward to be earned
Quick beat
A flutter of wings?
A flutter of the heart
Chaos
On in fits and starts
Caught up in a breeze
Tossed back and forth
Spring is tough for smaller things
Time to reorganize
Trade in aspects of the self
Interior design
Put that old life on the shelf
Fears and self doubts, leave them to the dust
Spring has come
Time to brighten this place up
Trails of light that you follow
Streetlamps line the path
Will you stay the line, or will you stray into the black?
There’s no backtracking
The way dissolves behind
Forward into happenstance
Chance and your designs
Find balance, strive for adaptivity
Harmonious, self synchronicity
