EYES OPEN


Excited ions giving color
To the morning sky
Sunlight beginning to crest the horizon
A walk between reality and imagination

The dream of motion
While the world around spins in chaos
Wild words thrown forward and back
A touch of thought with a taste of emotion

Tumbling through time
In anticipation of the future
Only to see the past come again
Today and yesterday become one

Moonlight the end of all
Night erratic in silent calm
Aurora borealis displaying possibilities
A walk between reality and imagination
