Beautiful Enough To Frame

Ecologist

I will not talk about love

Or the thoughts in my mind

I will talk about trees

And the air they provide

I will talk about the water

That is proof that too much of something vital

Will be the downfall like a rampaging tidal

I will talk about the Earth

That gives much more than it takes

I will talk about the sun

It will eventually kill us

But not at this moment

I will talk about the grass

How many soles has it seen

Yet it still jumps up every time

I will talk about the stars

And how perfect they may seem

But there's a reason they are so far

Any closer and we will really see

All of these things have lived long before love

And for this reason, they have survived

But us humans have been corrupted

By something that can't be seen

But has always been there

Since the absolute dawn of time
