Yours truly quite astute,
especially regarding cute
little field mice, also known 
as meadow voles,
which imprecation one doth emote,

Trifolium pollinated courtesy bombus

Before landscapers mow swaths
across undulating waves of clover
(the father/daughter team
usually cut grass every Tuesday)
bumblebees alight from one to another flower.

mid morning June 28th, 2022
with stomach upon natural carpeting
quietly basking...

I ask myself a rhetorical question regarding...
the durability, longevity, and tenacity of Homo sapiens,

THE AQUATIC GRAVEYARD

Beneath the deadly rough waves cryptic path of destruction,
There is an ethereal place of eerie silence, in the stilled frozen

Life explores integrity,
hoping to fulfill
all exploding polypathic 
curiosities polyphonic.

How might history rewrite humanity
if those who adventured out
and eagerly invaded
felt more reluctant to dominate?
More sure that their long-term survival
in this, or any, non-native land
required them to...

We might discern diverse scales

and is about CreatorGod of Earth as Eden
with Her divine lights and clouded winds
coming down from sacred...

but opposes immigration. I like immigrants
but hate passing people on my morning walk.

Sipping aromatic coffee on my duty break 
I glanced beyond the hazy vapors
outside toward the isolated runway;
under moonlit sky giant aircraft at standstill.

Despondent like me they seemed outside,
Inside my zestful mind seemed free,
While I wondered...

This small island civilization,
its empire was the largest creation,
with the widest trade connection,
there are mixed views of our colonization.
