Supernatural As
By Ben Nardolilli
By Ben Nardolilli
Put up a bush, and you have
A fence, along with a world
You no longer understand,
Where fear blooms better
Than all your reddest roses.
Erect a tree and you have
Shade, and a front yard,
A gift for summer feet,
Though no bush or sapling
Can grown under such trees.
Instead, leave an old forest
Fresh and growing unharmed,
Leave the trees and vines
Sprouting in between the roads
And behind the backyards.
You will have a better harvest,
Of animals, flowers, and leaves,
Cycling colors for all seasons,
You will make a new mysticism
Flourishing off the fresh path.
