Herbal Odyssey

I woke up on a rooftop watching rain clouds mold

A seagull wearing sunglasses whispered secrets dipped in gold

A vending machine hummed softly saying life will sometimes fold

While a robot on a skateboard swore the future favors the bold

Old posters on the alley walls muttered nothing stays too old

And a wandering saxophone released the notes it had to hold

A suitcase full of riddles claimed its truths were never sold

And a neon painted turtle kept the city from turning cold

My shadow high fived strangers every gesture smoothly rolled

While a mime in glowing sneakers warned that rules were meant to scold

I grabbed a cup of lightning felt its shiver as I hold

And watched my drifting thoughts get interviewed and slowly polled

Blessings rained like glitter every spark precisely doled

As the skylines massive heartbeat struck each second that it tolled

I stepped into a sunrise shaped by stories I once bowled

And walked through shifting timelines where my voice never pigeon holed

I wrote it all down laughing as the universe just strolled

Then signed my name beneath it leaving a legend fully scrolled
