I Gaze

I gaze

the rolling hills, the flowing trees
what beauty there is
there’s a haze or maybe it’s a light mist
it’s important only in the whole picture
somewhere I hear the singing of the birds
you can’t really imagine this . . . you had to be there

it was picturesque

it was perfect

I felt the oneness you’re suppose to feel
I saw the beauty you’re suppose to see
it was the way it was suppose to be

Then

I heard a horrible screeching
I looked and I saw an airplane
as my eyes followed the plane across the sky, it brought me to the electric lights (damn, they give off a terrible yellow glow)
after the lights I saw the cars in the parking lot
it was full and it was ugly
I next saw the power lines stretching across my picture
I followed one of them to a far off building

It was then that I realized I was leaning against a similar building . . .

Also blogged on this date . . .
