SOULSCAPE
Nothing's going today.
The lake ain't dry, the lake ain't wet;

it's just lying there,
neither reflecting nor pondering.

Ya know something's wrong when a pond won't reflecter.
The sun must be saving up for next winter

because only a couple of rays have hit the ground all day.
'Don't matter;

the flowers are looking at their feet anyway.
The butterfly's decided to walk today;

her wings tap together in an idle tattoo.
Even the flies are bumming out on this scene,

lying on their backs with their feet up in the air!
No reflectin', no shinin', no pollinatin',

no flyin', no pesterin',
no nothin'

Good stiff breeze gotta come soon.
