I remember growing wild
All those years before;
The page was turned to find this child;
Was innocent no more.
Its safe to say; instead of play;
Reality assaults us;
We need each day to get away
Beyond the walls that halt us.
So now when clouds appear to me;
Like creatures floating by;
I trust my child is writing me;
A message in the sky.

Oooh, I do like the idea of this indeed. We readily- and in many cases are forced to by strife and requirements of life to, abandon much of our childlike wonder and innocence.
The idea that I certainly appreciate is the acknowledgement of beauty in all her forms, and the very idea of an image in inanimate object is a wonderful thing, because it can spark a vast number of creative batteries.
Take for instance a small degraded piece of the bathroom wall above the urinal at my job; I look at it almost every time, and notice that it looks like a mouthless, limbless chameleon; and I love the idea of utilizing that as an enemy to create should I have the luxury of inspiration, ambition, and motivation to turn my aspiration of a Dungeons and Dragons story into a real campaign for people to play it. One more push in that direction now, and how many before I do it? Impossible to say, but I/'/ll get there. I have to :) |

| A lovely but sad poem. I don/'/t think it is meant to be sad but is to me. A wonderful thought nonetheless. |

| this is absolutely beautiful. the very first line drew me in and it held me the whole time. the end caught me by surprise and added another layer of meaning. I love everything about this piece. |

contrails written on the clearest
of sky
the sky blue
vast and empty
no stars
only contrails
only puffs of smoke
not even really
smoke
comprised primarily of water
in the form of ice crystal
Sky
writing
above the day
in pops a cloud or maybe
two,
all billowy
more and more clouds
rush in later on
And then those contrails
disappear from my gaze
A day sky, another changing
day truly different than before
more contextual, the kite
that hangs in the distance
white, the small rodents
scamper toward the thick brush
opposite the nocturnal
Peace!
