The middle a wasteland

Escape less an option

The land lies silent
Beneath the icy embrace
Trees stand still, statues
Whisper of life now dormant
Yet hope lingers in the cold...

WASTELAND?
‘Waste not!’ is an admonition
Scribed on wood, stone and ceramics
Made an impossible mission
By the second law of thermodynamics...

Oasis
this dry wasteland
longs for your shades beneath
a copper of stars,
while those flowing eyes
become love’s oasis.

Traverse Greened Wasteland
My parched wasteland waits
The rains love makes would come soon
Spread a green meadow
I would traverse to reach you
In the moist depth of my heart.

Gazing Alone
On a charred olive-
branch, a dove gazing alone.
Gory war wasteland.
Moist eyes barely holding pain,
being a sole survivor.

Divided We Stand
Ravage our monuments,
empowered dissidents.
Endless entitlements,
from spineless governments.
In this era unplanned,
by fathers of the land.
Divided we stand,
in moral wasteland....

To Eden
...men came.
With machines of fire
Roses of Desire did the same.
To Blacken the Sands for Years.
A fortress of Praise:
To quite a Rage in a garden of Eden
A Wasteland of Man....

Wasteland
What are the roots that clutch,
What branches grow out of this stony rubbish?
Girl of women,
Boy of man,
Or guess,
For you know only a heap of broken images,
Where the sun beats down on this wasteland....

You Are a Dust Devil
You are a dust devil;
a dervish whirlwind
in the wasteland,
a chaos wild and free.
You are the restless wind
stirring a swirling trance;
a wild romance blooming
like a short-lived desert flower....

World,
barbaric, unnatural
falling, decaying, failing
Technology, Society, Trees, Oceans
regenerating, flourishing, rebuilding,
instinctive, civilized
