before it happens . signs appear giving warnings . that we will ignore
what we tend to, grows . what we ignore also grows . just differently
focused on its task . the bee cannot be bothered . with the world’s problems
the dandelion . found a good spot, but mostly . it was down to luck
sometimes a tunnel . isn’t, and what’s at the end . is just open space
one looks to the sun . the other can remember . the reason it can’t
a path not taken . becomes overgrown, and soon . returns to nature
taking in sunlight . the indoor plant doesn’t care . that it’s not outdoors
under a storm cloud . it is easy to forget . that it too shall pass
we can imagine . a bird’s fictional story . in one lost feather
