Societal hope permeates
Like steam from good coffee
Building a sense of relief
The kids fold into city life
Brotherly love of music and murals
Back in the arms of my craft circle
Swimming in ingenuity and culture
Freedom of rapid transportation
Gives ease to growing independence
Fearless Opportunity
Sculling Rivers
Urban Gardens
Neighborhood cheesesteaks
Fresh Produce
Punk Rock Flea Markets
I flirt with teaching
Work in my industry
And create magical moments.
With like minded friends.
Vs
Held in a quiet space
Reflecting on nature
Remote & Camped
He is 18, she is 14
Fishing the ponds
Raised in the distance
Nestled in the remaining oaks
The deer stare blankly
Foxes skirt the perimeter
Working remotely
Dipping in and out of society
Renting out rooms
To more open minds
Protected by solitude
Yearning yet again
For next steps
I dig into the earth
To create healing art
Commune with the ether
The seasons turn over
One after the other.
