Is tonight really worth it?

The furnace fired as the five o’ clock shadow Set foot on the hills’ crown Setting fire to the early winter skies Giving rise to the cold winds up high Out of caution, maybe fear But the warmth gave me safety Once the darkness starts to leak And the voices wake and speak Telling horrorContinue reading “Is tonight really worth it?”

Keystone XL is No More

The Keystone XL pipeline project, commissioned in 2010, is terminated completely as of June 9th, 2021. This would’ve been one of the longest pipelines in the world and TC Energy had been planning it for years. Personally I believe that fossil fuels are an obsolete resource to be used for energy when technologies for renewableContinue reading “Keystone XL is No More”

Breath of Time

Steady circles of leavesCarried by autumn windsLight of dusk showeringThe dancing fields of grassA blink indentingThe new chapter of the treesOrange turns to whiteAnd the leaves whitherLeaving space for deathTo carry the rest of winterTo gift with shine the timeOf births and bloomsWhen the bedsheets are turned overMelted by the sun and the soils’ newbornsSheContinue reading “Breath of Time”

Never-Ending Stone

Global warming and climate change seem like catastrophic events that will happen in the future.Continue reading “Boiling Planet”

Last Car Ride’s Sleep

Circling Night

Everything kinda sucksAt 4 am the night isn’t warmerHowever closer the sun is to the horizonOnly brighter street lights and tree stumpsEnough waiting for midnight to passAnd my legs feel numbColder than the air around themDrained from all desire to walk againThe ceiling could collapse this very secondBut my body would stay stillNo sense ofContinue reading “Circling Night”

Our Little Piece of Everything

The world is going to be okay Right now it really sucks The setting is changing People are angry Voices shouting and echoing A human reaction Us fighting against something Realizing something isn’t right And we want to make it right The world knows Our planet moves in unison She grows, she changes Next toContinue reading “Our Little Piece of Everything”
