happiness is something you fight for

 
the summer days were long and lovely
on our commune we share beauty, art and laughter
talking among the flowers we share our dreams
connected to the Earth we vibe in vibrant colors
the people and times were good
everything green and singing its own song
we connected to each other and the music carried us higher
we love each others souls
sex was not an equation we met who we truly were
reflected in the gaze of my sisters and brothers
a family blossom and bonds became stronger
the trees sway in unison as we dance to the summer winds
collecting clam shells on the canal
and talking about dreams not gathered
Alice's garden in the morning is where we meditate
focusing on the day before us
I touch the skies with the smiling faces around me
the word of the day was picked each afternoon
a word we didn't know
we would debate on its meaning then google it later
always broadening our horizons
each of would then go our separate ways
and work on our artistry
a wonderous place we called home because of our family


one day violence crept in along with some foul spirits
disturbing the minds of our loving family
voices were heard and fights ensued
chaos ruled our ranch with smashed art instillations
angry words were the words that ruled the day
bitch, whore and liar
paranoia the culprit
all things fair turned sour
the trees and flowers had no way of saving us
but I blocked out the noise and refocused my energy
centering myself each day and meditating on the sky
I touch heaven and brought my loved one back to earth
along with the rest of the family
we give our support unconditionally
he knows he's loved
and is seeking outside help
sometimes you rise so high you encounter the super natural
it is a growing experience
I am happy in the knowledge we will gain wisdom from our trials
