Seduction

take cover,

insurgent inmates running the asylum

and the digital world’s on fire

let’s unwrap the simple joys -

serenity

amidst the deafening noise

with dangling trees caressing crisp autumn air

do you ever wonder how the stars still flicker at night

do you watch as the night hawk takes flight

can we fall in love

with the beauty of a firefly?

do the willows sway in the gentle breeze

am I just another lost tumbleweed

trying to find a perch

and listen to the music play

as the world’s gone mad

and we seduce the moon and the stars

to come

run away?

and if mountains crumble

like a heartbeat spoken

can a stone cold world

be seduced

to mend the pieces

that remain broken?
