Demons in fluffy white coats
Burn them to the ground

Ever icy chill on the autumn leaves
those white crisp layers of cold
not just covering what is new
but hiding away the old!

As I laid in his arms
His warmth surrounded me
I whispered in his ear
If heaven is real
This would be it.

You are
the only

Look Up

Lincoln
By Becki Ashton
DRAFT 1
—
Don’t let your eyes turn square
from the endless blink-less text
that prays on your weak mind
and fills your thoughts full of doubt
—
Don’t let the sadness and social mind fuck
take the beautiful that is around you
that cranial descention of head tilt
and the chit-ta chat-ta of fingers on screens
—
Take your thumb off the on button
and look up into mother earth’s design
breathe in the air and stare at the birds
that fly high above your head and house
—
Let the world see you, so you can see it back
don’t let news, politics and debate pull you in
down into a pit of depression and anxiety
take your hands off and just look up
