Below the Horizon - Shallow Shame

Agony be to society's demise
Labels are for fools, not for the wise
Play the familiar tune of in-unison serenity 
Fatality won't come any time soon, thankfully...

Homeless people were on the news not to long ago...I weep...

Care given

in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

whether in my relationship with her,
or with EarthDays more kosmic travels 
through naturally wild 
and domestic spirits.

the innocent
red-caped roses stared
the trees whispered,

"beware, beware"

barefoot softly 
the Supernaturalist 
transfigures instead

from under shine 
she bares...
