I follow cracks in the pavement
Jumping in puddles, dancing through them
i run looking for the sunlight
soft ebony tar between my toes
i feel wise, so childish and tranquil

when serenity hits me, like a quiet friend
explaining to me, the beauty, of the falling sunlight
draped across my shoulders

so i am still with the world around me
extending my arms out to embrace- it.
but all there is, is wind and sunlight
running through my fingers like a golden scarf
i almost feel it there, alone

shivering back to reality, my bare feet are cold
sudden despair floods from me,
rushing over the fields of suburban homes,
wiping away the regulation and normality
before drawing back like a tide
grinning, though tears are in my throat
i keep walking
