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


To escape the grasp of shadow instincts
A journey of twisted motives is unwound
A duty to cast iron regulations is ended
A winding upward path requires dedication
To reach the point where folly can be dropped


What will you wear to distinguish yourself
From all the other dancers in line for glory?
How can you stand out to the invisible one?
Do you adorn your reflection with trinkets
Or build the design you intend from scratch?


It’s not necessary to be psychic or sensitive
There is no need to read the tea leaves
It’s easy to see that the cataclysmic shift
Is hurdling towards this place and time
It will not be avoided by conventional means
