Oxygen

                                   The seed grew into a tree and created greener roofs.

 Before it got destroyed from a buzz, hack, crash, 

   to build new housing, don’t they get it, 

       I am the one who filters your air 

        and enables you to breathe I

         give the shade from the hot

          and dry. So respect the 

           needs for the animals

             that make a home

                    out of me.

                    I am their

                       home.     

                                                                      

                                                                           - by Max Doran  



Shadowplay

A light brighter at darker times

you hear a howl and look up

at the trees surrounding you  

see a shadow looking at you 

and behind its darkness 

light that shines across

the moon and comes 

upon you.
