Complexities



The pink bougainvillea outside beckons 

The green beyond there shows me sights of what is, 

what could be 

We whittle away at our land and seas 

What will our children see? What they will feel? 

Dry arid earth, lifeless horizons 

A sunset that can't be enjoyed 

The kite rides the air currents

Showing me the way of 

what could be
