maybe it was hundreds
maybe it was more
not even glimpsing
what I hungered for
maybe it was more
not even glimpsing
what I hungered for
and found
salt marsh cradling
alchemical miracle
alchemical miracle
color spilling
seeping spreading
like fresh paint
like fresh paint
mere steps away from
an ice cream stand
an ice cream stand
crowd bathed in a flood of
incandescent
fluorescent
sodium vapor
fluorescent
sodium vapor
lights casting
unearthly hues
unearthly hues
artificial colors
concocted tastes
swirling in plastic
cups and cones
concocted tastes
swirling in plastic
cups and cones
unseeing unfolding
diaphanous drama
diaphanous drama
veil parting briefly
between mundanity
and eternity
between mundanity
and eternity
vanishing as fast
as half-eaten
frozen treats
as half-eaten
frozen treats
melting
discarded
thrown away
discarded
thrown away
the chance to see
inscrutable truth
inscrutable truth
seeking i saw the
other side briefly
other side briefly
where beauty reigns
making a deeper connection
waking to unseen possibilities
shaking in the revelation
waking to unseen possibilities
shaking in the revelation
