A biological fear,
Right behind loss of connection,
Yet eye don’t remember the fear of falling,
Stealing so much attention,
When did the fearless girl decide to hide away?
Scarred of making the smallest mistake,
When did falling become not okay?
By Mac Guerreiro
How cliche,
How true,
How simple yet complicated too,
To be weighted,
Each new discovery more pounds to add on,
All because of focus gone wrong,
Disillusioned by an ending that may never come,
How to get to the opposite frequency,
In which each layer becomes a blessing,
In which the invisible end matters not,
In which this valuable,
Difficult lesson is finally taught.

She remembers all,
Even what she’s never seen,
Passed from generations of Mothers before,
Pathways to walk,
The brushes they graze,
She knows all the ways,
Such incredible beasts,
Treated so poorly,
By humans whom don’t understand,
Men whom don’t take care of their own,
How could they know,
The depth of an elephant’s heart,
Most humans wouldn’t even know where to start.

Trending upwards as he likes to say,
It’s not daily,
But it’s not that it’s not everyday,
Some days it is,
Others there’s a delay,
Eye’m trending upwards either way.
By Mac Guerreiro
It happens,
Eye tell myself,
Eye’m human,
Eye tell myself,
And for once,
It helps.

Are you here to stay?
Please tell me you’re not just waiting to slip away.

Incense smoke twirling from flaming ends,
We didn’t know it back then,
Our childhood wonder,
Innocent and powerful,
Void of notion,
It‘s a wonder to think,
Of what we set into motion.

Eye put up window film,
It felt like an accomplishment,
Looking forward to the rainbows in the morning,
And here’s to seeing what’s before me.
By Mac Guerreiro
A microscopic step here,
A little forward there,
Feels like Eye’m barely getting anywhere.
By Mac Guerreiro
To admit that Eye’m here,
That’s the discovery of the year,
To allow myself to start again,
Without rushing it,
Without judgment.
