Forgotten

photo of a baby shoe on the side of a bike path

Along the foot path,
teens huddle for a Tik Tok—
ghost of childhood lost.

Busy bees

Always on the go,
looking yet never seeing—
the human lifestyle.

Decision pending

Stands a wise old tree,
for passers by to notice—
waiting at crossroads.

Samesies, but not

So much difference
and yet so much in common—
life-giving plants, us.

All natural

broken tree bark

To be broken, hurt,
crushed under a world of hate,
is human, nature.
