Don'T Quit Your Daydream

Despite being hoisted on arid ground, My barely hidden refuge, a sensual shadow On the road, I laid out for stifled sorrow distorted silhouettes of the decayed bound. Peaceful water and tangy, light wind warm light on my arms, and stoked sand Now, via fragmented flower-bed land A riot of magic florets and birds chimed. Lush conifer forests smell of pine Cool shade and light, crunching pine twigs Out into the sun, a breeze for sailing jigs Crickets leap around me on a supple line. A soft smile on my face and a passion I cannot hide eyes wide and unclasped, fantasizing about you blissful as a nostalgic journey at our venue I value that you are daydreaming too, eyes wide.
