An Illusion

Once I descried 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 into 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. ~ A Brian Strand contest ~"Descry" contest by rob carmack.
