Whispers of the Earth

By Avery Acosta

“Who are you?”

Is the past full of destruction?

Or peace and prosperity

The daunting beat of your heart 

Is all you can hear

As you try to make sense

Of the world

But don’t dwell on the past

Enjoy some good beer

And cake

And joy

And when you leave the world behind

Gazing

At the beauty that once was

All you can see

Is love

At the dawn of creation
