Hidden in green.

Surrounded by sand.

“Life’s strange…” ...

Even tiny stains on a wall,

Are beautiful…

On some days, ...

You’re wooden,

But look hungry.

Today, ...

The cooper.

Yourself.

Together. ...

Paint me happy.

I’m getting old.

Not much to look at. ...

Why are you so far away?

To watch the lake.

Why? ...

Smile,

Dangle your feet,

Stick out your tongue, ...

To the green…

“Get closer. I’m cold.”

To the leaves… ...

Graffiti,

Or colors melting into sidewalks?

Written upon, ...

Burning within brown.

Melting into haze.

Trying to find a way. ...

I love your smile…

Simple.

Happy. ...

Look up.

Feel the sun.

Stand tall. ...

Growing up.

Alone.

Constricted....

Another year winding down.

Another layer of expectations,

Crashing,...

A happy devil?

Or the shy green one?

In younger days, ...

Circles,

Within circles,

Surrounded by circles. ...

Would you burn me?

Yes.

Why? ...

I’ll choose this side.

It’s quiet.

No one around. ...

The key to my heart.

Old.

Guarded. ...

When you look at me,

Quietly,

With trusting eyes, ...
