Crawling on the jungle floor Inches from the wilted green Failing in the search for more Longing for the truth unseen Dragging on with battered limb Stretching out among the weeds Begging each to bring the end To all of life’s forsaken needs Watching as the trees go by Listening to whispers told Screaming out…
A cloud of darkened purple Sits above a sea of black Protecting all that lies beneath it Catching dust upon its back High above the colors fade From purple to a deep azure A perfect mix of every essence That the world has kept pure And far below the blanket sky Resting softly in the…
