so far away

Things we want seem so far away.

The world we envision is different

than what is real. Nothing will stay

the same. Eventually, our last breath

will blow out life’s flame. For now,

the fire burns. Heat is something

we all feel. Problems arise. They

become incommodious. Mindsets

tend to shift. In a world, so far away,

creatures play all night and day.

Unicorns frolick in tall green grass,

and sloths move really fast. Life

is what we make it. We can’t fake it

or take it for granted. Dreams leave

us perplexed. Crazy to think our minds

run when we rest. When we sleep,

we visit worlds so far away. Anthropic,

robotic, hypnotic, climatic, and erratic.

These are words that stick to our shoes

when we walk on this earth. Somewhere,

so far away, there’s a world so enchanting.

It’s our mercurial nature that changes

our vision. It’s time to find new life

inside ourselves. The spark is hidden.

Start by being yourself. Don’t fit in.

Be a character in stories unwritten.
