When it’s time to leave,

Let the world be

Yellow, orange, and red. ...

Exact.

Symmetrical.

Perfectly measured, ...

No shortage of answers,

In today’s world.

“Read that book. ...

Maybe it does

Take a lifetime,

To find one’s path ...

Plankton and fishes,

Scuttling in a golden sea,

Afraid of disappearing, ...

Old, rusty, faded.

Yet filled with memories,

Untold stories, and smiles. ...

Indistinct shapes,

Dispersed colors,

Soft-spoken sounds, ...

Fallen, wet, waiting,

To fly away,

On a breeze’s gentle wings, ...

Rolled up.

Neatly packed.

Ready for tomorrow. ...

May you shine brightly,

For many years,

Lighting the way, ...

Rocks,

Steel,

Shadows, and ...

Sunny days,

That soon will turn.

As leaves take wing, ...

Softer memories,

Waking with a rising sun.

As darkness evaporates, ...

Confusing days,

When it feels scratchy,

Crooked, and upside down, ...

Stacked,

Naked,

Silent. ...

Light,

Colors,

Imagination, and ...

Empty streets.

Cloudy skies.

Alone, ...

How does today feel?

Rusty,

Chalky, ...

Sunny days,

That wipe away fears,

Momentarily. ...

Exact,

Symmetrical,

Hard, ...
