The View

The View

A Poem by K

I can see the city from here.
Blue yarn weaving in and out of yellow,
still stretched across the loom.
It sits amid the ocean
that matches your jeans
and the pink mountains
with the lavender shadows.

And between the mountains
and where we sit,
there is a road
that twists around
in no particular direction.

To feel that freedom,
with only the wind
to command your hair.
To fly around the curves,
with the navy trees
blurring past us.
To end up on that beach,
with the sand
that matches your skin.
To escape the rigid lines of the metropolis,
on the road
that leads anywhere.

But today
we�ll return
to that rigid grey scene
poured beneath our feet,
and wait nervously
for tomorrow.

Very intricate and yet so light and airy, I agree with Jenny, it is an exceptional view. Wonderful imagery as i could see what you describe like it was a painting. This really is fascinating, I enjoyed it and thanks to Jenny too- she sent it to me...
