A world taken over by those who belong. Humans enraged, guts full of anger, their home returned to what's good. What will we do with all this space? The animals cried out, free, at rest. Trees growing broadly, cracking layered concrete, a flower blooms quietly. Sun shines from her eyes, petals spread, reaching. Competition seems simple now: no parking, roads, construction. Coexistence, mingled here, all species bar one. As living as life gets, so far from done. An overgrown forest, or so they once called it, now merely just growing.

|
||
My search result remains unknown\
|
||
What if I find you overgrown
|
||
|
||
A break from my trek ever forth\
|
||
To feel how flame evokes your warmth\
|
||
Dying embers sit and simmer\
|
||
Reminding how your eyes glimmer\
|
||
How could my grasp let you slip through\
|
||
Unthinkable that you withdrew\
|
||
How was my grip not tight enough\
|
||
Would holding on have been too rough
|
||
|
||
Awake and drowsy I can only yawn\
|
||
Again set out, before the crack of dawn
|
||
|
||
Through concrete jungle, turning to latter\
|
||
Objects of service on a new chapter\
|
||
To time forsaken, these buildings have changed\
|
||
Constructed for users now long estranged\
|
||
Inside I sit for but a moments rest\
|
||
A pleasant refuge no longer suppressed\
|
||
Abandoned now, they’re free from our restore\
|
||
Oh how they’ve grown to greater than before
|
||
|
||
Resumed my journey more aware\
|
||
Unsure why I feel this despair\
|
||
My heart knew what my mind did not\
|
||
It’s beat increased to rate forgot\
|
||
Upon glimpse of your silhouette\
|
||
A rush of heat and touch of sweat\
|
||
Long last my venture is complete\
|
||
Something inside screams to retreat\
|
||
You seem so happy from afar\
|
||
Arousing feelings so bizarre
|
||
|
||
|
||
Should I leave you on your own\
|
||
It seems I've found you overgrown
