What you need
It's from my new story/poetry collection, Us & Them. What you need is on the first page. There are thirteen stories and seventy nine poems.
What you need
Surround yourself
With nature’s green
In any form you can find
Trees, bushes, grass
And notice the weight
Or the emptiness
That threatens to suffocate
Quietly trickle away.
There’s a legacy
Of co-habitation
So long lasting
That’s it’s in our very cells
Working in unison
With the dirt
The open air
And the surveying sky
Watching over us like guardians
Amused perhaps
By our impetuosity
Our unique ability
To trip ourselves up
In the mad rush of our existence.
So, take a step out
Open yourself to that
Which has welcomed you
For an eternity
And the feel the subtle connection
You seek
And deserve.
