We caress the heavens together -Calm- In a trance Lost in a sea of souls I find you hard to miss -familiar- I can’t escape your pull I flow -not with the wind- But with you Bending air as I go My whole eternity is you A blue vastness -too great to ignore- From my perspective I live for you As there is nothing else Quite as magnetic -although, I’m trapped for sure- My naivete may live on Yet even I ponder The slight trembling in my heart Subconscious, or am I over? There, a world spilling with ants So small- Yet visible with their feats of humanity -I can see it so clearly now- Where once there were only specs- Now there lay a myriad of wonders Right before me -the haze clearing- My confidence often a victim of gravity- So steady hands always pulled me up Right on cloud nine I no longer feel the softness of those palms- Once my ever-aiding life -safety- I have fallen out of your grasp The wetness of tears Staining my existence- Yet clearing it all the same I fall as the icy raindrops guide my demise All hard and true- I must accept my punishment For I have lived on far too long And know much too little Seeping into reality- I can feel every texture on my skin Every imperfection on the ground -forever taunting me- Leaving the once continuous cycle- Venturing into the unknown Where-for once- A seed may grow larger than a planter could ever provide A wild flower- Thriving in a sea of individuality Forever smiling at the sky Despite the abandonment

Opening My Eyes
We caress the heavens together -Calm- In a trance Lost in a sea of souls I find you hard to miss -familiar- I can’t escape your pull I flow -not with the wind- But with you Bending air as I go My whole eternity is you A blue vastness -too great to ignore- From my perspective I live for you As there is nothing else Quite as magnetic -although, I’m trapped for sure- My naivete may live on Yet even I ponder The slight trembling in my heart Subconscious, or am I over? There, a world spilling with ants So small- Yet visible with their feats of humanity -I can see it so clearly now- Where once there were only specs- Now there lay a myriad of wonders Right before me -the haze clearing- My confidence often a victim of gravity- So steady hands always pulled me up Right on cloud nine I no longer feel the softness of those palms- Once my ever-aiding life -safety- I have fallen out of your grasp The wetness of tears Staining my existence- Yet clearing it all the same I fall as the icy raindrops guide my demise All hard and true- I must accept my punishment For I have lived on far too long And know much too little Seeping into reality- I can feel every texture on my skin Every imperfection on the ground -forever taunting me- Leaving the once continuous cycle- Venturing into the unknown Where-for once- A seed may grow larger than a planter could ever provide A wild flower- Thriving in a sea of individuality Forever smiling at the sky Despite the abandonment
Although I let myself avoid the truth for years, I had to except it sometime. Unfortunately, that happened much too late- right when everything came crumbling down (much like a cloud-drained of it's rain).
