From East to West

 

A glimpse out of the window—

When the Sun dies

Dropping slow

Flowers sigh

Bow their head in the cold

While searching for another light

 

I

Am watching the Moon climbing up

As the Sun collides

With the far-end tree shrub

 

I

Am in the West

Received the last Goodnight

Climbing on the cold damp mattress

With a stomach full of soggy fries

Ranted about the misery inside

 

I

Am from the East

A fairly delightful place filled with lullabies

When the needless concerns used to suffocate me

Now I miss them, no lies

 

The flowers peeking inside the window

Now they see me looking for my Spark

Eyes plow

Time to embark—

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
