you are "speaking your mind"
when you are not aligned with the above mentioned...
you are opinionated.

"humans bore me
silly" face.
they takes up so much
of my space.

they can escape my
sweet birdie wrath.
(except a love bite
or two...i a birdie...
that whats i do).

i walk
i walk, i fly,
for food i search.
my life is what
i am given.
or what i find.
each day another

but i don't
mind.

he knew that more of

rent, controlled
we do not own earth.
we simply rent.
and while we
have squandered our
lease
too many species
came and went.
so landlady mother
earth,
sad but true...
when our lease is up,
she may not renew!

she grasped
she grasped and hung on.
too tight to let go.
the hurt feelings around her.
she did not care to know.
she hung on and she grabbed.
for no
other reason than
that she could.
somewhere in all that
me-istic retention
she chose bad over
good.
while those around her
struggled,
even when they
understood.

the howl
There was a time the world was ours
No big tall buildings, no noisy cars
No people with guns, shooting at
Everything they see
When we could howl
As a family
When we could roam our world
At will
Not worrying about if we would
Be killed
The moon our beacon, the sun our friend
We did not think this would ever end.

pangolin
Do you know me
I am a pangolin
I try to survive
My numbers getting thin
People eat my babies
Take my home from me
Can you help stop
This misery?

what goes on
what goes on and off
in a pigeon's head.
does he look at winter
as world of dread.
does he wait for spring
as his daynights fall.
or does he live for each
moment.
in the grander scheme
of all.

moment.
in the grander scheme
of all.
imagine-nation
the infinite sky of imagination.
higher than high.
no end to each moment,
as it navigates itself into
places it has never been,
and finds new niches
and corners
where it has been
before.

matters
you are here and gone
before the blink of an eye.
but...
what you teach and learn,
matters.
what is spoken or un,
matters.
what actions are or
are not done,
matters.
while it lasts,
make it good.
leave love and
smiles in
your wake

winter through windows
winter through windows,
how pretty the sound.
snowlight the trees
as they
tickle the ground.
twinkling in magical,
crisp and pristine.
far from the outside,
winds cold and
quite
mean.

our waters sustain,
our waters breathe.
if our waters nourish,
our waters receive.
our waters ripple.
our waters roar.
without our waters,
we would all
be no more.

we are weathered by winter.
we live for the spring.
we plan our futures

we sing.

snow and rain,

perhaps they want

and find a warm place
where they can hide.

she found a flower
crouching sadly in the dirt, the pile that was her life. she rifled through memories as offal to be discarded with
disgust and disdain. she rummaged through what was, as the detritus floated by her..
she found a flower.
she pressed the flower against her worn skin. each petal caressed where tears were once copious and at times, bitter. she put the flower to her lips, its exquisite velvet presence filling her with aromas of mystery, as they danced by her nostrils.

the mother earth
the mother of earth looked at her errant
manchildren,
as they ravaged her, tore her species
asunder.
the mother of earth just watched
as the manchildren went under.
the mother of earth, by sadness
driven mad.
drowning in her own tears
as she mourned what
she once had.

a time to focus
a time to focus on happy things.
a time to smile.
the sad stuff overwhelming,
after a while.
so a breath of fresh moments.
a time to renew.
then back to doing
that which
we have to do.
it is easier to make our world
a better place,
if we have a collective
smile on our face

her life as a playlist
she sees her life as a playlist, decades of song, sounds, words, emotions. segue scattered and evocative...
each song a moment, that in its time, seemed a lifetime...now part of the introspection collection.
she lingers over every note, reliving as if reading a memo, afraid to read between the lines often not well played. yet she is drawn to this content, impossible to alter.
she dances to the feelings swelling within her, in step and in a wiser place.

the thees and/or mes,
what an unpleasant place

there is great joy in
