Evolutions Impact

How the world changed us, but we can choose to -instead- change the world

Did you know
Shooting stars could turn green,
Then red?
Did you know
Bluebonnets could fade
Purple?

Not all snakes are bad
Not all grass is good
Did you know
There's boots for the rain
There's boots when it's dry
Did you know
A coyote's howl at the moon
Doesn't sound like a cry?

I learned to listen
To the crisp whispers
Of the ground as I walk.
I learned to differentiate
A pond from a tank,
I learned to close my eyes
And feel a horse's stride,
I learned to clean my first dove
And I cried.

Did you know
Weather changes a horse's mood?
Did you know
Your own back yard
Could produce vegitation? food?

Not many know...
Not many want to...
Not many know how to see...
But once you know,
You begin to want,
You are blind no more
From the secrets
The freedom
The things
You can't always see.

What used to be
the night
Transforms into a ballet
of dancing star light
What used to be a tree
Turns into
Shade, protection,
A beautiful painting. A picture. A memory.

I challenge you to learn,
Just as I have learned,
Learn to smell the roses.
Take in every color,
Every scent,
Every feel.
Taste the air around you.
Feed on the colors of the wind
And for a second
Forget
Forget the beginning
The beginning from when
Beautiful innocence
Became sin.
