Swimming in waves of sentience
Drifting through my past life’s visions
Reaching for the clouds once again
Wrap me in a cloak of matter
For resurging, and taking form
Has proven to creak the boughs
Of this ancient soul, straining its might

What is this – a grand travesty
To behold the Earth consuming her foremost progeny
The very plains murmur
Of this giant sequoia
Of grand boughs
And glistening stipules
Teeming with life
Encumbered
By the persistent accumulation
Of the children who rise from the wetlands
I, the Grey Giant
Shed all excess –
Want not, ask not, demand not
For though I provide, I shan’t remain
Rays of Phoebus
Bear no prevalence in this, my semblant nightide
Lo, the plague which burdens this savannah
With longing,
With weakness, now deposed
Surrender/Envelope
I shall purge this land
Of all dessication
And banish the aridity from thy roots
Rivers and basins, brooks and lagoons
Shall grace this land anon

Utopia

Small claws
Buried in bark
Seek the warmth
Of the waking sun
Avian choirs
Take flight in the glow
Caroling hymns
Of Elation
Titan Strength
Courses through
Robust Limbs
Honor and Grace
Fill each fruit
Advance toward
The age of flesh
Feathers mimic
The spectrum of light
Saturns firstborn
Sends a gift beyond compare
In the wake of the clouds,
In utopia,
Our oath frames the cycle;
The kingdom shall prosper

Immolate

What drives the beast, the bird to flee on frantic wings
Sends shivers through the roots that hold this bridge to its violent fate
A sacrifice, laid out for our mother’s scorn
A “just” reward for the hubris of her grand creation

When
Titans Die
They swim in the resplendent light
And drink
Memories
As their paths converge and unite
But this visit,
Routine, and brief
Turns aside from Death’s muddling eyes
“Wander and chase
Your mortal shape”
Dared the mother I’ve defied
