In Awe of the Earthly Terrorists

In Awe of the Earthly Terrorists
________________________________________

What is AWE?

It is like the gasping for breath –
Inhaling the smog filled air

It is like being frozen in time and
Suddenly waking
as the ice sheets melt under your feet

It is like the fluttering of your heart
At the birth of something new
Like our mutant renditions of biology

It is like the calming of humility
When gazing out on God’s painted sky
Tho humility is abscent in
The presence of imperity

It is like the sudden intensity of excitement
Just before surprise
Will we be surprised when it’s
GONE???

It is like the noticing of each grain of sand
Being distinguished between your toes
WE. DO. NOT.
distinguish what is
EXTINCT

It is like the warmth of intimacy
That blankets your skin
Delicate
Gripping
Needed

We are such wasteful violators holding nature in contempt!!!

It is like the impeccable sensation of fear
Instentaneously becoming a
Welcoming of ease
When all you LOVE is safely guarded from distress


We do not LOVE this earth
No one can guard this earth

We are such hypocrites!!!

We are the TERRORSTS

Wanting to be AWED
