๐ŸŽถ Vibes: “The Breaking of the Fellowship” by Howard Shore

A Road leads into the mountains under an orange sunrise

The Road Goes On | 2023-05-02 | FUJIFILM X-T4.

2024 comes to a close
a slamming shut of a book
you can’t undo the words your eyes consumed
the words graffitied into your brain
plastered with nonsense, bigotry, and pain.

2025 starts with a power-washer
erasing the bafflegab, the phobias,
and the answer to “what’s in the box?”
our hydrant full of friendship
it leads to community, a mural painted in the heart
the hopeful road before you,
what are you waiting for?
let’s get to work,
let’s start.

My intent is mutual aid,
my intent is to live and love purposefully,
my intent is for self-care and self-respect,
my intent is to live a life worthy of being remembered.

May we all create community and care.
