for granted.

How numb are we to our existence That the everyday melts Into a melodious wave Crashing and swelling so, So predictably. The bricks blur and The sun sets before We can remember it rising. And we look to leave Strive to escape the banality That is the compass of our life. The comfort of discomfort Spawns an egg in the crater of our brain. Nature alters the hue of another world We see through a biased lens The peacefully rolling hills The staunch mountains The tempting lust of azure water. But we all see the same moon. A different angle and a slight of hand But it’s still the same moon. Why isn’t it beautiful here?
