solace

find me at the edge of the world
where fog & mist swirls
beneath my kicking feet
everything that has been or will be
coalescing below

a pebble plummets as i shift
is it gone i wonder?
or is it onto something new
a world where no one hates
shames
or fears

a new world
where a kid can go to school
with no fear of being shot
and nobody
has to die for an unseen cause

wherever you went, pebble
i hope you’ve found solace

we’re trying i swear
but some just don’t care
please enjoy your new world
but right now
this one needs me
