Then one day I decided to look to the left and saw a sky that was lit with strawberry tinted powder puffs.  
This purple and pink persuasion of the possibility of what dreams may be

Then I look to the right and saw this milky, sweet honey of golden embodiment.  
Wrapping gently round the mountains so the delicate light seemed to envelope its curves.  Spreading vastly in to the great beyond that is the city.

Sherbet  vs. custard

Who shall win?

Seperated by one sole bridge

Heading east quickly in to the decadence of tomorrow
Watching wistfully as the vibrant colors fade to muted exhuberance

The sunlight still reflects off the skyline like nothing ever happened
Burning gold
With fervent fervor
And purpose all its own.

Gold melding in to blue,
Swallowing the remnants of pink and softly reflecting the remaining flecks of violet
Dissipating in to the solid night sky

the misty raindrops collect on
the glass in front of me
as they dance across the windshield
I let my eyes blur

the out of focus somehow brings things far more into clarity
as the streams of drops connect in ways that I couldn't envision
I noticed the patterns
seem all-too-familiar

Noticing...
this thing that happens when mindless chatter stops
when all the blurry lines connect,
can I actually see?

I watched this cute little yellow balloon
as it rolled its way down the highway
weaving in and out of traffic
like it new exactly where it was going.

It meandered on it's gentle path
flowing with the breeze
seeming to have direction and purpose.

Never getting distracted or
losing sight of where it was headed,
I watched as the semi rolled by
thinking this was the end

but the little yellow balloon had other plans
it  just kept on rolling down the path
knowing the destination and not swaying from it's mission

all the while,  enjoying the passing breeze
from those that helped along its way.  
I watched this yellow balloon
as it turned to get on the highway
following me or so it seemed to my final destination.

It had black letters written on it that I couldn't make out
I may never know what the word said but I'll always know
what the balloon had to say

I watch in wonder
Wide eyed and mystified
As the highway lines sway like jump ropes in the wind
My eyes are playing tricks on me again as I see a jack rabbit hopping in the dark
Pitch black mind you, only my headlights in the sky of the new moon
I'm not afraid of the dark anymore
Seeing life in slow motion, changes your perspective,
not only your perception

Listening only to the sound of the wind flying by the side panels sometimes the car rattles just to fill the silence

A new knowing that I'm not quite willing to accept.
How do you let go in to the magic of the universe
when you still don't trust yourself?

I suppose that will come next.

The light of day slowly seeps in
as the gentle patter of rain becomes louder
Dissonant syncopation in the distance
It's gentleness soothes me in ways mostly forgotten

Let me sleep in a little longer
Lazily enjoying the romance of water and window
Let me lay here Til I can feel it on my face
If only in the depths of my wild imagination

Postpone my day while I daydream
Perhaps the rain will stop
But dreams never cease

i see my naked reflection painted in the glass as I look out upon the night sky

The pungent smell of farmland gone bad disrupts the serenity of my scene
But no bother
I will not let the grandeur be tainted

As I gaze out at the romantic splendor
The song in the background transports me to a time when I danced with reckless abandonment

when my main priority was a game of kickball or maybe a long bike ride where I got lost in myself til the fading light of day guided me home.

Youth is never lost on the young if you pay attention

This lighthearted word that makes you want to look up
to see the allure and intrigue that the sky holds

Every collection of soft, fluffy whiteness opens the door
to another portal for the imagination

They shift expand and disperse like most things in life
with a much faster pace

I watch as they gently meld into one another
Then fade into blue
the grandest magic show I have ever seen

And off on the horizon
this sumptuous mound
seems to grow from the core
of the planet

Reaching higher with more light and luminance than all the rest combined I watch as it coats the sky for as far as the eye can see

Wrapped in the glorious hues of the setting sun
in the midst of heaven
I see you
