      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      YOU KNOW

      You know within your own heart

      What you must do

      You know you’re the only one

      Who can make your dreams come true?

      You know you’re the only one

      That knows the real you

      You know you can be the tallest tree

      If you get the morning dew

      You know you’re like a silk thread

      Delicate but strong

      You know you’re like a sheaf of barley

      And you’ll catch the morning sun

      You know you are a little star

      That hides behind them all

      You know someday you’ll know

      How to break your fall

      You know a day will come

      When you’ll realise what you need

      You know that the most beautiful flower

      Came from a humble seed

      WONDER

      Did you ever wonder why the fields are green?

      Did you ever wonder why it’s a silent scream?

      Did you ever wonder why the sky is blue?

      Did you ever wonder why I stopped loving you?

      Did you ever wonder how a seed becomes a flower?

      Did you ever wonder at a warm April shower?

      Did you ever wonder why the birds can fly?

      Did you ever wonder and say, why can’t?

      Did you ever wonder about the nature of a storm?

      Did you ever wonder why it leaves things beaten and torn?

      Did you ever wonder at the simplicity of life?

      Did ever wonder why it cuts like a knife?

      Did you ever wonder just to pass the time?

      Did you ever wonder if your imaginations lying?

      WINTER

      The darkened day
