mind may you wander
for the grief of the world
is inconsistent with the peace in my heart
hard won at war with myself
now i watch a peaceful sunrise
with a good dog
in silence
silence is a gift and without it
how do we keep peace in our hearts
my feet keep the beat
of my uncontrolled ramblings
there is still rhythm there
it is interrupted by the idea
that we have not learned
how could we not have learned by now?
but look at the way her
ears bounce when she prances
mind may you wander
at the incredible depth
your lungs are able to breathe
as the world i live in
it has fresh water
and clean air
when streets are torn up
and blood is spilled
we all lose, no one is winning
no one has ever won
but that cloud looks like cotton candy
and that weeping willow is so beautiful
i could cry
mind may you wander
because there’s no such thing
as the right thing
to say right now
and if the peace
that i feel in the mornings
on my walk
with my dog
adds to any sort of peace in the grand scheme
it is okay
mind may you wander
while this dystopian societal collapse
did not come
with cool technology
or any sort of social leap forward
it did come with the ability
to watch it unfold in real time
you cannot forget those are humans
because we are already numb
mind may you wander
because when the sunrise in the morning
takes my breath away
it does so gently
and it gives it back
