Stillness
Breathe easy
Stride to the edge;
Turn a new page
~~~~~~~~~
Ash in the air
Hazy shades blur;
Smoky scents linger
~~~~~~~~~
Barbecue leftovers
Smog cues loiter;
Choking aroma
~~~~~~~~~
Arrivals
Departures;
Change fixates
~~~~~~~~~
Words in a row
Meaning making sense;
Timely distractions
~~~~~~~~~
Curious eyes
Watchful waiting;
Emergent pulse
~~~~~~~~~
Picture book story
Perfect romance;
Reality check
~~~~~~~~~
What happens now?
Tact sees fact;
Conflict mellows
~~~~~~~~~
Naive assumptions
Cruel reality scars;
Pain excruciates
~~~~~~~~~
Watcher watching
Two sides clash;
Blurry narrative
~~~~~~~~~
Stillness
Silence;
Subtle sense
~~~~~~~~~
Journey
Mystery;
Wonder heals
~~~~~~~~~
