BAD NEWS

Odd, isn’t it?

The swaying grasses,

the colours of flowers,

the rustling bushes,

the upgrowing trees,

all of the busy tiny creatures,

those birds, these bees 💚

 Absolutely none have been stilled

by The Bad News!

If I want to feel freedom’s wild kisses,

if I truly want to snuggle close

to my original self,

I walk out 💚

I walk far out of reach of the news…

and as I go, I cast smiles and catch smiles 💚

 Smile! This is the Big Green

The news about all our human doings

Is of no consequence whatsoever

to the birds and the beetles 💚

 

Their headline news, their editorial,

all the way down to the stop press,

is about the ecology

right and left

seen and unseen 💚

 I am always welcomed in the Big Green

to observe with love and respect

the sweetly earnest business of survival 💚

 Here calm runs up to me,

from my left,

from my right,

to hold me by my hands 💚
