Apple and Peach
I look up at the skies above me
to describe how I was feeling
but there was no color in the sky
And the old man in the clouds
Was no were to be found
He died a century ago
The sky had lost its luster
And the glory in the moon had disappeared
The stars were nowhere to be found
And the silver lining on the cloud
had fallen to the ground
There was no color in the sun
And the baseball pitcher
had already completed the home run
I use my paint brush to create the scene
And pastel colors to assemble a new dream
But the man-made color kept disturbing me
The new faces in town were acting
Like some twelve century clown
I tried to force some words out
But they kept gargling
in the back of my throat
And I couldn’t express how I feel
I just allow my weight
To absorb with the passing breeze
I couldn’t tell from whence this feeling came
But it was obvious that life wasn’t going to be the same
I dug in the utmost part of my mind
And I came up with a lucrative design
that could not appease my mind
In a split second
The transition was made
And a new ambition was formed
The old heaven collapse to the ground
And a new heaven gave birth to
A miraculous world
The pigments in pastels
Diffuse the living hell
and the old lugs fell off the truck
Around the bend
Apple and Peach are in the basket
