Aging rocks fall into the sea;
the tides erode all norms over time.
Pale blue, pale yellow, pale green.
Flowers die,
Plants, birds, animals,
Why do you need a name?
There will be dust, storm, cyclone.
In there, what will you wish for?
This trail, this narrow path, this green belt,
But something erodes them,
We can’t trace them back.
Now a metal road, wide, it’s heartless.
We are travelling fast, faster than light,
Are we? Will we ever be?
Will you be the next? They ask.
Either way, it’s an end. A sad end.

Erode and Corrode
What happened was wind blowed and blowed
Causing every thing to erode and corrode;
Water turn bad;
All so very sad,
Luckily, safely items had been below stowed.
Jim Horn
I wonder as result of Harvey.
The young and naive question their fate;
expecting love, unprepared for hate.
Armored with lies, defending the truth,
a warrior lives: inside each youth.
Scars and tattoos display anger's mark:
insipid badges; oft crude and stark.
When pain morphs into panic and fear:
Hope vanishes, replaced by a tear.
Memories store what feelings impart
deep within a troubled teenage heart.
A ramshackle look drains one of pride:
frightened inside, unable to hide.
Bodies of friends ingested by Night:
traced in chalk, by a city of light.
Surviving the streets, your dreams erode:
as nightmares travel that lonely road.
Grey heavenly skies
in reaction to her hurt
clouds so different
In cry, falls, penetration
acid rain erodes her so
