Earth's Secrets
Frosty-glassed windows and fiery eyes
Finally with you after some tries
Rainy day sunshine brighten my smile
Warm us, tropical storm, and stay awhile
Surf the waves through the ocean springs
Jack of the trade and King of all Kings
Wildlife roams in our Earth's abyss
Snow and cold-frosted to the kiss
Rocky mountain high as the emerald trees
Sweeping and piling up Autumn-orange leaves
Windy and dry with our sun so high
Surfing in my imagination on my first try
Silently slipping the seasons to bear
Dry as this is, fires begin to flare
Crystal-gazed snow paths begin to melt
As our Earth rejuvenates it's beautiful health
Rainy muddy puddle's rhythm is a plus one
Please don't stare at our volcanic sun
Blistering heart and silent repeat of what you know
Do me a favor and don't hurt our earth, though
Millions of words to finally be said
Thousands of paragraphs to finally be read
So much knowledge to finally seek
But I need better weather because it's so bleak
So much power to hold in the palm of your hand
But America is running out of free land
Nothing is free because things cost so much
Too many new experiences to let your body adjust
Silent thoughts where no one else can see
No one can ever truly be free
Your body is borrowed and your soul is not yours
Too many locked windows --- too many locked doors
Shape shifting life with your own imagination
To create for you a memorable sensation
So much teaching to still be taught
But too many distractions to finally be fought
Locked away inside your exoskeleton shell
Too far into despair to sit back and dwell
Remembering that time is to beat a clock
To finally escape reality and release this lock
Thousands of chains break the name
But too many to point the finger or blame
Silhouettes of snakes in mirrors of fear
Flame-throwing weapons to finally sear
Destruction shame is quite the haze
Circling in this everlasting maze
Sinister secrets torn from my chest
Reminding myself that life's just a test
