Life's Work
What does your mind look like? Is it a jumbled mass- of smoke, and color- like mine? What do you see- when you look inside of me? All the people that pass you by, I guess. If you were an artist, would you ever be able- to make anything- that looks like your life? Sing them into sadness? Turn them to colors made from tears? Could you make them cry your own self portrait? Could you wipe your tears upon my cheeks- and make me feel alive? Could you wrap yourself around my hair- from tiny ribbons made of paint, just to see me run away- with your life's work? Would you wait- for me to look back, before I smile, and dissappear? Would you run-
after me?

Poem: 'Make a Wish' Username: strangeclouds Link:http://liberalpoetry.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=Other&action=display&thread=1096787254
'Make a Wish'
I once dreamt I was walking down the road to my house really early in the morning. The sky was a light purple- almost white. Thousands of dandylions stretched across the horizon, along both sides of me. 'I should make a wish,' I thought. But my attention diverted when a large, gleaming black car suddenly whizzed by. All of the flowers seemed to explode- making their seeds cover the entire sky. I had lost my vision- but at the same time, I could see- everything. I didn't want to blink- it seemed a waste of a moment, if only for a second- it was one more, to feel alive. Miles ahead of me, the car was a tiny black dot, abandoning an angry white sea that calmed at my ankles. The seeds fell around my feet, they covered my shoes and left me alone again. I quickened my pace to catch up to the rest still hanging in the air. My eyes darted back to that all-too-familiar sky, reflecting itself in my pupils to bask in it's own beauty again. 'I've missed you,' It seemed to mock. I frowned, stopping to stare at the waves in the distance. I could see again- but then I realized... That I didn't want to- So I ran faster.
