~lately~


lately, so much around me is tugging at my heartstrings, 

causing my feet to slow, my spirit to cease the dancing, 

the verve of life, its energy, is waning 


still, mine eyes take pleasure in the beauty of trees  

and flora while the sounds of fauna and nature of 

their being thus still excite me 

 

to close mine eyes for sleep and rest, lay still my body, 

listening in the silence of nocturnal stay where now 

my solitude is at play 

 

i wish and hope when i awaken, if i‘m gifted another day, 

that yesterday’s angst from manifestations of human vitriol 

and hate are forgotten and i can begin again~
