An Illusion

I saw yonder this brazen sky leaning over to kiss the demure earth. I ran toward that conjunction to join this blissful union and be in perfect accord with Nature: To bloom like a flower Or twinkle like a star! I ran ran in sheer madness ran in sheer delight, A strange sensation spreading over me, Lifting me high high in the sky. Tears of joy welled up in my tired eyes and I saw this dull world in a celestial perspective. But I went on and on… Now distressed and spent, A step further, I collapsed – Lost and defeated. ~"Sky" contest by Anthony Slausen "Simply Beautiful" contest by Kelly Deschler
