Then Life Happens




Then Life Happens


As the winds swirl the mist around on the
Surface of the pond, I look into the
Sky and I watch the delicate birds as
They dive and circle. I watch the
Clouds play hid and seek with the sun.
The sun is but a disc, half sunken in
the horizen. As far as I can see,
The reds, pinks, oranges, yellows, greens,
And blues stretch on forever. Until they
Melt into night in the East. I sit on the
Porch of my house and wonder what life
Could be without this.

Then life happens. The mist turns
To sand. The pond turns to sand.
The birds -- Buzzards. Clouds? Ha.
The sun, yes. A disc. But blindingly
Bright. The sunset. It's...just...
There. I am sitting in the middle of
A pile of dust
And Dreams.

Then life happens.
