we’ve got a system that was built for yesterday that we need to fix
in a hurried life we miss the quiet moments presented to us
codes used long ago still have meaning; but only if we understand
in going to seed the next generation is allowed to flourish
i often wonder if things that look abandoned actually are
in turbulent times we dream of blue skies and hope that x marks the spot
we change the landscape to suit our needs; then must fix the changes we made
some signs we ignore others need to be taken more seriously
before the next storm hits the news, we could use a moment to dry off
i can sit for days watching everyone else in constant motion
