I should be walking
on a sky like this
Orange and pink
a candy floss float
Waving goodbye
to leafy green skies
and a girl in a dream
of painfree smiles
and lullabyes.
Hold still and paint this
keep this
for the hurting times
when breezes and birds
fly by unheard
and I am lost
in my upside down world.

for dverse poets
we all need something to hold onto for the hurting times
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Shai! The world will right itself again eventually. Hope the goblins aren't too malign...

ReplyDeletenice...it is def good to capture those times that are beautiful and great and carry them with us in our pockets for those days that are not so much...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. I like the idea of archiving those kinds of scene for those times when things are more difficult.
