Everything Is Not Okay
The winds howling through the roof
Booming down on the metal
About to crash down in any minute now
The wolf banging on the door
Luring us to open it
The black bloody hands
Clawing through the cracks
To our deaths
I’ve been down, down, down
The rain plummeting
Down
In my head and
In my heart
When alll of it seems to be going
Against you
The waves slapping you in the face
Pushed and pulled in the crowds
Of the Shibuya scramble crossing
Spat in the face
The virus spreading
In my lungs
In my brain
In my heart
Looking down at my feet
Trying to walk as fast as I could
To get back home as soon as I can
Until there was a change of
Abendrot aura in the air
Golden rays shower upon us
Streaking through the downpour
Sunset in the rain, I whisper
The smell of rain letting out
The spectrum of light
Revealing itself
Peach colored peonies
Lilac lavenders lathering in the skies
A ribbon of a leprechaun’s treasure map
I saw the starting point
The pot of shimmering gold is near
I breath in the mystic sight
Head up
And breath out
Everything is not okay but
It’s going to be okay
Everything is going to be fine
The world seems to say
