Melting the world is on fire

Post by creativesoul » August 4th, 2018, 1:14 pm

Lava took the land back
Pele said - cultivate kindness
Here : in the desert / sunflowers grow
Speaking with the hummingbirds
The dates fall from the tree
Lemons at the west end
The sandy mountains watch
75000 people were made homeless
Carr fire in Shasta county
Floods in hanalei Kaua’i
Road to my favorite hike is busted from land slides

The religious ones are stepping up delivery to Jesus
The scientists told us that radiation was leaking into the sea
Florida has massive fish dying on both coasts
The ocean has turned acid

The shadow we have cast is on us now
What we do
Not - what they are doing
It is time for a revolution
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

Short end game ... profit and stuff above all else. Holy capitalism more like feudalism, gangsterism. Wild weather and earth, not sure, living in violent cosmos so deceptively peaceful at times and then suddenly ... Is it merely temporary? Or physics? Action-reaction? I dunno..

I cannot cool down
On the east coast
On the west coast
I’m melting
Sweating
My heater will not shut off
My throat is tight
I just want ice cream and cold soda

My mother has cookies
Buys r
To go food at balduccis
In Reston va
My sinus shuts down
I make myself sick

I wAnted love
But did not know how to do
It
Turns out I only imitate what I learned
As if my magic
god came down from the sky
Struck me healed
Told me to get up and walk
Heal thyself

I want to hear that sweet small voice
Tonight
At my mothers house
It is not my luggage
I can comfort
Thank you 🙏 Mom
Then that teenager inside has to realize
She is all grown up. Ow
Thank you 🙏 God

longevity brings deeper analysis
each decade we are reborn, reshaped
humans can't help trying to evaluate
their performance, but in the end
it all come down to a bit of luck
and a lot of desire to keep trying
to find that place of contentment
where peace dominates stress, and
the love in our heart is a tool for forgiveness
we all did our best with the imagination
we had at the time....we all get a pass
we are imperfect humans....we live
we love....we keep at it
we find our personal solutions
to quenching the destructive fires
and flame the creative ones
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

So true
The way of the light
Presents itself
Each time I had expectations
Of whatever I thought everything
Meant
Or was it meaningless?
In the meantime
I pick up some interesting trash by the side of the road
For my next
Piece

Saw all the fires on a map
It seems like a grande design of re- forestation

Ya
It’s a bit spooky
The way the river decides to change its flow
So hot cannot go outside
Air
Lungs
Nicotine patches are fabulous

Like toast
It would seem
Brought on with a bit of jelly
Blackberry
This makes the wild tolerable
