this is what I want to say about that daisy filled afternoon




we caught - you - were laughing
alone
in the moment that yesterday glare met the tomorrow sun

next was a conversation between the trees 
twins
born out of necessity twenty seven years ago

they were young and weak when you entered the world
elated
they knew your parents well - they and the grass

the hope of landscape is repetition for survival
individuality
is often the death of natures spirit 

if you breathe big or hold the frame they will kill you 
those 
who know nothing of life love - which is many

there are two kinds of wind flowing through the scapes and scrapers
one
is beautiful and gentle and blows your hair as your hair wishes to be blown

the other speaks only fierce dialogue and does not hear your heart
angry
it takes away those and that which we require for continuance

so if the bad wind blows - hold tight to the trees and the grass and the sky
try
because along with the seeds away will fly your smile
