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 59 - Safety

Safety

Danger looms in every corner beware!

It insidiously grows up from the white

Looking to trap and slowly ensnare

All those who have sweet dreams at night

It comes in the form of sparse vegetation

Urging on many a heart racing sensation

Just behind these dangers lies protection

That everyone most desperately seeks

Though to retrieve it you must go another direction

Sometimes for days or perhaps even weeks

But all these struggles are worth it they say

To keep you dry on that coming rainy day

If only you could grasp the peace from here

Not watch in longing as it narrowly flees

If only you could conquer that pernicious fear

That blocks out the courage to wander through trees

And take what is yours in the long fair scheme

But from this stance that all appears only a dream
