Hazy Acres

Stood under a long shadow 

Looking up in the wind 

As far as it would take me 

Up and up

Then the edge of a feeling 

Over the line 

Every person has a thing 

Every moment 

Every time 

Up and up 

Until another line 

Peaking around the corner 

From a different beginning 

What happened to before

All of a sudden 

You are in a new reality 

Did you paint it 

Did it paint you 

Are you a color 

Are you the canvas

Are you the ground that held the seeds 

I don’t know 

But it continues and there you are 

Looking at a new tree

Smelling of a new scent 

Taken care of in ways you forgot were possible 

And the achy feeling you remember 

Tucked deep inside the wrappings of hope 

Dreams of things you want to be 

Like the movie 

Like a story you told someone 

Who lost doubt in the story they told someone 

And you found a layer 

Writing them about the gold 

Even if it sparkles lightly 

You tell the story 

Symbolizing the what if sleeping in your heart

Singing in your mind 

Touching their skin as they sleep 

Why not
