Day 287 - Extraordinary

A vibrant cataclysm of color greets my memory

In the scene of reflections we flee from

Rushing across the sky of clouds

To a fantastic illuminating hum

The blades of grass push away daisies

To make fields greener if only for this instant

Begging you to run through them barefoot

To inhale the evergreen wonders of mint

The sun glances off a tiny sliver of glass

Shielding your vessel with intelligence

Pulling things from this reality far away

Across the ivy embraced plane fence

There is the faded but ever sharp warning

"Objects may be closer than they appear"

But that is simply the life we live

Nothing is ever caged enough to be crystal clear

Day 79 - House of Glass

House of Glass

Hidden behind glass so thin

Is the path you shan’t begin

It is only a pretty view

To fade away with the morning dew

It is the barrier that you need

So of the glass take cautious heed

It seems the frame of perfection

But is only the path of misdirection

The shining rays only deceive

In your own heart you must believe

That path is one you should not begin

So if you must gaze out, but stay in

Day 28 - Cold Yet Not to the Core

Cold Yet Not to the Core

Warm shadows and sun shine through

But it is colder than you ever knew

There sits a charade, ice posing as glass

Waiting for the final moment to pass

Then ice can grow into a mighty raging river

Cold and willing to call on every forgiver

Even in times when the message is false

It disregards all voices with a pulse

But that is only what you see on the surface

The core of the matter you swiftly dismiss

For it is colored the same shade all the way through

But that is not the only reality that is true

Ice can reflect out the brightest of light

Or keep you shivering into the night

Leaving that door so slightly ajar

Has already gotten you this far

Next time manage to hide your own disaster

Do not come and attack my forever after
