Love Letters to Our Existence

Go plant a fucking tree

Love Letters to Our Existence

let electric waves shimmer through your vision like

high roads to higher places

there's a wavering in existence

when realities collapse and everything is vibing on a better wavelength

because then we listen

really begin to see and understand each other

and love is a radical thing but

we fall for it every day

whether with the yellow and purple butterfly

or the smile of a stranger

or a birth of life

so you see

we must begin to hear each other again

our voices

through the phone lines and in person

begin to see each other again and anew

as nature is revived in gratitude to our reconnection

we are the earth you see

and we've been neglecting her

smoke and tears mixed wildfires and tsunamis

we must do better for her

begin to vibrate on the wavelength of rivers that grip her perfectly

we live in the most beautiful world and

she needs us to do better

because without her, there is no us

and without all the music there'd be silence

and what use is silence when everything around is collapsing

so scream

howl

clean your lungs and your neighborhood too

care again

so we don't have to stay in this darkness any longer

we can do it

we

can

do

it
