Opalescent Scent

Four paragraphs each bringing new meaning as a picture is painted of something that taunts the narrator.

Drawing on a distant memory

Distinct connectivity

Crystal ball 

Synthetic lead 

Trailing onward

The simple soul wanders

Tired and heavy

Hallucinations 

Hectic, wary, daunting

Translucent ecstasy

Clouds paint the sky

Wandering footsteps

Inky black with worry

Traipse artist balanced

The Silver lining is cut

An echo rings true

Dreams

Fluid, acidic, dangerous

Regretfully so

Tonight a mistake it stings

Ceramic and brittle

Azaleas bloom withered

Droplets liquid and pure

The rainbow hues

Solitude it sits aware

Memories

Taunt, Weary, Ample

Must be remade new

To Dawn this comes

Host of stars above

On palms and knees

Try, try again

Dust off the shoes

Grace is at the door

Thoughts

Hopeful, Open, Clear
