THE BEAT

recked

© Josh Dela Cruz

The bushes move

to their own beat.

To an unknown tune,

They comfort me.

In the darkness.

In the night.

Until the morning light,

When the sun wakes.

The bushes part

And let me out.

Until the night returns.

MEOW!

I know everything.
I know what you’re doing
and what you’re thinking.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
I know what to expect out of life.
All I need is food and a comfortable
place to sleep.
All else is unimportant.
Goodbye silly human.
I need my beauty sleep.
Meow!

DOES A POOL BRING HAPPINESS?

Do you believe life would be better
if you had a mansion with a large pool?
If you had tons of money to spend
on anything you wanted?
Sounds nice doesn’t it?
But I wonder if these people
are any happier or more
content than we are.
Maybe they are still not
satisfied and want more.
Maybe human nature is to always want more.
Following this logic, these people are not
any happier than we are but are just more comfortable.

WHAT'S REAL?

Is reality on the inside or the outside?
Are we in a drab room,
looking out at the sunset?
Or we standing outside by the water
with a fake room around us?
If we try to leave the room,
will a door shut us in or will
we be able to walk outside?
Where do we want to be?
The room offers shelter and comfort,
while the outside offers adventure and freedom.
Once we know the answer to this question, then
we will know if the walls will lift away for us.

THE SUN RISES

Hopes and dreams.

Take comfort in the fact that the sun rises every day.
No matter what happens, life goes on.
