Riverwalk

Just sitting by the river, noticing the life around me. Doesn't feel quite right yet so any kind of advice, criticism or support is welcome.

Green radiates life from behind me

branches drape over the walkway

the river laps against their roots

white caps rolling over

Emerald Grass nips at your ankles

begging you to stay

 

Sitting cross legged

on this concrete cube

groups waltz by

strolling past life

their dance of delight

crushes the lifeforce underfoot

 

The river runs red

with the blood of nature

long been dying from our hands

off in the distance

civilization roars

spewing progress from it's head

 

And as nature dies

with thunderous applause

I love not what we are

but what once was.
