Terra firma

shadowbones

Mother earth's beauty

Shrouded in doubt

Glorious leaf

Plucked effortless

Do we really reap the benefit

Mindlessly ingesting sustenance 

Consuming animals for survival

If we go on

The magnificent man

Forgot where he was

Taste of blood

Raw meat

Slaughter of dreams

Trees guarded in bark

Beauty of endurance 

Held without conception

The resilient are forgotten

Why, then man do you think?

    The resilient are forgotten. A freaking great line that serves as a demarcation thrusting a great phrasing forth w a grin born of power.

      Thank you Bobby! You are correct about coming forth with bones (adam). The healing now begins. My intent was to write something beautiful. I think you got the message. My pain not heartier then yours however still valid. Much love

        You may or may not enjoy it. I think it has value to you because I assume you like classic rock!
