Hush, let the comets quieten For a tender chrysalis now comes undone Pushing back the pupal curtains The wings of a fresh earth Delicate yet bold Begin to cascade outward From their familiar embrace At wings first peek The fresh earth welcomes in The first splash of light Upon it’s novel plane Slipping through the splits Of the frail cocoon Soaking into the rich turf birthed beneath Beams of life dance From blades to beds With each glint seeming More effervescent Than the last Putting on a display that Would cast tears from The driest of stones Bemused in a state of whimsy The wind lets out a Sheepish laugh of excitement Gusts giggling and whispering Amongst the trees Sending leaves spinning Into a curtsy Making the forests Smile from ear to ear Praise the land beneath us Sense it’s vast depth Touch the walls of our verdant monastery Feeling the dew of the first morning Coat the tips of your fingers and Shimmer in brilliance when met With the eye of the sun The silence of beginnings is sacred The moment before life happens and The winds of tomorrow blow us into New skies to be present under Let us hold onto this lull While it still lingers in the air Thank you Thank you Thank you

Look She ain't always open with you, but she sorta ajar He's a re-offending crook, in and out of the bars It feels better than it looks, and you go blind when it's blind when it's I got some sins, listen in Where do I start? Let the cell ring, nothing to tell me Know alarms when I hear em But fuck my well-being Talking sense to me is an ear beating All I'm hearings interference Charlie Brown at a PTA meeting Far away from God in heavens nosebleed seating Vet against these demons tryna pen peace treaties Some day I'll repent, but hell's been in 3D Inhale shit that's not air so I can breathe easy She ain't always open with you, but she sorta ajar He's a re-offending crook, in and out of the bars It feels better than it looks, and you go blind when it's dark I got some sins, listen in Where do I start? I was feeling manic, so I'm acting like a soap show I was being damaged, don't be judging just how we cope I was disadvantaged, I had problems by the boatload I was up and planning, took the cold made a ski slope Went from cold hearts to icing out my throat Wave Noah's ark, even when I cry to Shiloh Appalled like they Blart, hate a copper to the upmost They tell like an art, shocked i don't want em too close Had to push away another pyromaniac Only way I'm cool with you, your standing way back And I know when I son em, these fools burning up. Fire-starters with a heater, but you can't aim for none Only time I'm a snake is when they boiling my blood But the squad gonna come, and they really going dumb And they cutting up your guts like it's chitlins for lunch If your what it is now, we'll make you what it was I got racks I got racks I got racks I got racks in my eyes I got prayers for my health, I got some for my demise I got D- I got D- I got D- I got DMs what's mine Got 'em falling after autumn I bring cold to winter time I bring my friends to the function, I'm tryna open minds. Messy tryna open bottles cuz he tryna open wives Wives Wives I'd rather leave my brain behind But I'm never not on 10 I never drop a dime

Dig your heels into the soil And scatter what remains of me Sow me into the earth so I can cast my roots And make friends with the rot Tend to the shrubs Being a kind host to The weak and wary that Choose to seek shelter In our humble garden The same as I did Many blossoms ago Pay attention to the way The flowers wane Look upon them fondly When they begin to feel The breath of Fall on their backs For there will always be another Spring Put your ear to their stalks Listen to the pulse Weakly stumble into pocket Trying to cling on to the last of Their breathing green The hope of lasting lights And midsummer contentment Now seeming to wheeze from their lungs Sit in between the thorns for a while Let their pricks speak whispers into Your flesh and tell you how they Miss the way the Dogwood used To play with the evening sun In between its fingers like a Burnished two-pence piece Flirting through the crooks Of every branch and occasionally Letting the spill of July Graze the cheeks of the rose bushes Remember that your love Will never be lost in this garden Only ever redirected Tenderness kept in circulation By means of nourishment And passing songs bosomed by Choirs of larks When the low hum of Spring feels ever-distant And the plants begin to heave, I hope to remain as your Winter Honeysuckle. Seeing you through every cough and splutter. Keeping your wary senses full of sweetness, Even in the bleakest of dusks
