A Thousand Movie Scenes

A Poem by Athena Marie

Caught in a false moment; reckless and myopic

Climbing up the steps of reason

If this is really stealing

It's as easy as breathing

Sunny pastures behind your eyes

It's frozen where I reside

And I'm a little bit tired

And oh who could forget this

The steps I took to deflect this

Now it seems I'm walking backward

All the same time running forward

Do you hear them calling

Us the villains in this story

It doesn't feel that way to us

Let's blow this town on the next bus

Seasons pass faster than lightning

It's a little bit frightening

When days start colliding

Dusty memories shine like new

You said I will rescue you

But we're still ripped clean in two

my favorite days were as a kid in Vermont running through the pastures with the cows...i was a city boy...but love the reckless abandon of those fields, those days...and reading this made those dusty memories shine again, thank you for that.
also i was reading this i thought of Benjamin and Elaine in The Graduate...

that thought of rescuing each other, getting on the bus and just taking off...seasons pass so fast...and if we don't hop on...life will just pass us by and we will be looking out our apartment window.

excellent piece...can't believe there are not more reviews for this write.
