ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: Rootless Blooming, by Peter Coons

Stolen love cries out for vengeance
Like wildflowers that lost their roots
Leaving behind broken patience
Where there should be holy fruits

Don’t even ask me why
As we fall apart
Don’t even try
We’ve been this way from the start

Cry out for me when it gets lonely
But don’t hold and wait
If it goes to slowly
Regardlessly loving like our fate

Don’t let emotions fly
As we fall apart
Don’t even cry
We’ve been stuck since the start

Trying so hard to let go of ourselves
Only time really tells
If the world overwhelms
As we ring our bells
