In this moment we witness the dissolution
All are touched by the emptiness of authority
The vapid construct that was held up to us
Is now seem to have been corrupt all along
In the absence of conscious structural power
A wasteland of mindless cruelty is revealed


Observation of rock worn down to a point
Reminds me that time does alter all things
Space itself is subject to the natural design
No single place can remain untouched


Climb around the rocks that lead to the sky
Edge up to the blue beyond that red
Reach heavenly heights on deep reflection
No tether to what has been abandoned below


Indian Paintbrush spreads underground
Reaching out in darkness to find allies
This resilience shows its bright face to the sun
When the conditions beneath are providential


Wear and tear takes a toll on all of nature
Solid state to dust is a long tedious process
Nobody witnessed the disappearance
The whereabouts of those remnants, unknown


Eternal memories pass through blood
Seep into story dressed as presence
Dance through beliefs fast, no doubts
Leaving traces in modern mythology


Reflect on the ways that warnings appear
Since many are dismissed without notice
Only on remembering the change we find
The pivot always hinges on messaging


Sensational reports brought angst with regret
Isn’t this what we believed was our era?
Our mutual responsibility is to furiously reject
The death of civilization for specious reasons
Retrieved patriotism is battered, worn, tired


Shapes conflict in tense competition for space
Lean over to observe the silent hum of creation
Molded into sculpted moments captured
Casting shadows in an attempt to speak


Standing in defiance of nature and law
Needy figures try to dominate the landscape
Little do they suspect that the earth beneath
The apparently solid surface is revolting
