And Along Shall We Follow

Riddled rattled rhymes ricochet off of rusty roofs tops

Drizzle drip onto ducks moving to the wave of the water

Hazy skies cover serene sun shine

Darkening the cool rocks below


Red branches lay past the tree line in a sea of plain

Dancing within

caught tying knots not knowing

Twist tying trembles past the shore line

Into the water of rough nature


Crashing by jagged rocks

Melting butter seeps through crevices

Glistening past the lights of the city


Sky lines run over top my head

The light buzzing mixed with watery waves

Piece close together

Finding harmony between each other

Ringing like cow bells on a farm

Not necessarily enjoyable

But far more favourable than nothing


Signs disrupt views as a harmony with one off singer

Bright boisterous colours crash in my eyes

Such harsh contrast to the water

Such colours exist

Such unnatural existence


Rules create condescending creatures

Invisible but present

Break free from the metal holding

as rules are made to be broken

Slip-slide through slippery slopes

Cast a shadow on my disobedient demeanour


Restrain me as a goose

Bound by they limits my bones will let me

Fly past cable wires and garbage piles

Over squirrel dens and tree tops


Over muddled water that held open secrets

Skeletons of looming trees with whispers of a time

A time before the pitty party of people

Collecting past designated positions

Leaving footprints of weathered waste

Washing up with sandy shells


Footprints of a generation resembles dump-trucks

Dumping dirty junk jammed past the leaver

So it flies

through the round wind

and whistles past rugged rocks

With aged wrinkles


Erosion of a mimicked mind

Rock deterioration beats

bruises, burns, and battered nature to a silk wave

Future of crumbs on sandy beaches


Nature is dead

And along shall we follow
