Ode

🌍 We’ve been watching the world end in high definition. Scrolling past the destruction. The fires. Streaming the floods. The apocalypse has become ambient, a thing that plays in the background while we look for something better to watch. This poem projects the earth onto the ruins we’ve made while we were looking away. A reminder that the real world is still here. That the walls we’ve built are still doors. And the ones we’ve been waiting for have been us, all along. Happy Earth Day. Please share this. Not because sharing anything saves the world—but because nothing moves through the algorithm without hearts and minds carrying it, and a film nobody sees is just another thing the dark swallowed. If this poem stirred something in you, please pass it on. 🤍 Full track “Change” From the album THE WHOLE INSIDE By @ode___official Out now 🔗 in bio . . . . . We’re waiting for the world to change But waiting is a dangerous game We’re all headed for the grave someday Wading through these plays we stage But what are we waiting for? If we’re the sages We can save this place Let’s sage this space Maybe we’re our saving grace? And we’re the ones that we’ve been waiting for? If the walls aren’t real And the world’s all doors Then we can change the way this goes And we’ve got a ways to go So, what are we waiting for? Away we go These plagues won’t go away On their own But if we change our ways We can change The way it goes . . . . . #EarthDay #EarthDay2026 #poetryinmotion #spokenword #climatechange

The only thing we really have is this moment. And most of us are giving it away. We made TIME to take it back. To slow down, in a world that only seems to speed up. 🔗 Link in bio to watch the film & listen to the track. We are independent artists, so we truly rely on you to help this message find the people who might need it. If it speaks to you, please pass it along. Your voice is the only algorithm we have. 🤍 Ode Credits: “Time” Words & Music by @ode___official From the album ‘The Whole Inside’ Coming 3.13 Written & performed by E.B.

This world is whirled by words Like spores we hurl them to the wind To bloom like primrose in the night Upon imagination’s wings And thoughts are like a breeze That whispers sweetly on the mind Until the lips obey the call So they might navigate though time And instincts are like drumbeats We know the path to march Our fate’s beneath our feet And we arrive as we depart And truth is just like music How harmonious her song is The notes spell out the tune That casts the light into the darkness And love is all the rest And if we read between the lines We see that love in any language is the word that writes our lives . . . . . “World is Whirled” From the album THE WHOLE INSIDE By @ode___official Out now 🔗 in bio . . . . . #spokenword #poetryinmotion #wordplay #poem #wordswordswords

It’s about that Time… Ode is coming back to @libfestival Who’s coming? Funny story: last year at LIB, we were onstage at the @grandartique performing our track ‘Time’ when out of the audience comes @steeleism holding a piece of her artwork: a small cage, with the neon word ‘Time’ emblazoned in the center. We’d never met, but she walked up to the stage and handed it to me—and it sat up on stage with us for the rest of the show. Moments later, I’m told, an owl flew by directly overhead. A wise man once said, “either everything is a miracle or nothing is…” It’s gotta be everything. ‘Time’ artwork by @steeleism Photos by @helloatlasmedia Lightning in a Bottle is one of our favorite festivals and we can’t wait to see you all out there. Stay tuned… #lightninginabottle #time #ode #spokenword #poetrycommunity
