Now 2 – The stories you made.

The past has bought us to this place

& left its markings on your pretty face

What happened & the stories you made

You can loosen your grip & let them fade.

Late summers day blue & white sky

Maybe of all things you could learn to fly

Cars pass by & the lady’s chatter

What are the things that really matter?

A few green trees line the street

Not sure if its really fair to keep eating meat

The sun comes out & heats things up

Prefer coffee in a glass to a manky old cup.

Just a few folk are wondering by

Very neutral looking they neither laugh nor cry

Slightly cluttered table with a crane in sight

Have you heard of Arjuna & all his might?

The street lights are not turned on

Its broad daylight so that’s not wrong

A gentle breeze is filling the air

The health of this planet do you really care?

Lunch was good & its nice in the sun

The wind picks up nature’s clearly having fun

People talk into phones & wear a plug in their ear

Mistaking misery for happiness what do you fear?

Colorful shops with flats above

Scooters & vans but no crisp white dove

Street signs & the sounds of traffic

Roads go both ways which one will you pick?

A bus splutters by & people of all ages

Different colors with good or bad wages

Various shapes, cultures & states of being

Stay in the moment there’s no use in fleeing.
