the summery dusk glow
paints the ochre monuments
a dazzling tangerine pink
leaving my fingers paralyzed
in the middle of a photo
swirls of warmth around me
and under my breath i gasp
what a world we live in
boiling prismatic calderas
a glistening vibrancy
mists of mellow steam cover me
on wooden boardwalks
i just want to paint the sky with
these rainbow shimmerings
and with my hands i draw out
what a world we live in
sitting under soaring pines
the lake water dabbing my toes
sunshine streaming over
viridescent spring meadows
skipping over slick stones
as i stand under the waterfall mist
and over the roar i shout
what a world we live in
upstretched joshua trees
spiny crowns glistening in sunsets
scrubby cactus gardens
blossoming in the twilight
as stars blanket the nightscape
my spirit rises amongst flitting bats
dancing around skittering moths i think
what a world we live in
picking up ancient plastic bags
uncovered by the waves
as wind turbines adorn hills
and solar panels glisten bright
the impending crisis fading away
as the world built back better
so that many futures can sing
what a world we live in
