    As Time Slows Around Us [Poetry]

    Poetry

    As complicated as time itself, like the silent conversations with the moon and sun, lie the complexity of the screaming but silent thoughts of the stars. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." ...

    His Green And My Purple

    Wet, muddy footprints walk their way,
    As loud as the clear day,
    Up to my doorstep.
    Simple,
    Small,
    Artistic. 
    Who do those footprints belong to?
    I don't know,
    Will I ever know?
    What if I follow those footsteps?
    Where would they lead me?
    To what degree
    Will this truth
    Show me?
    I take my first step forward,
    And then another,
    Just like my father,
    My mother,
    And all the others before me.
    Small, purple footprints are left
    Where I once stood.
    My favorite color.
    Except now, duller.
    The footprints that don't belong to me
    Are green.
    Almost unseen.
    Is green their favorite color?
    Step after step,
    Green mended with purple.
    It felt like I wasn't alone,
    Together, we walked into the unknown.
    White space,
    Then purple,
    Then green.
    All three blended,
    Mended,
    Step after step.
    Step after step,
    The colors changed,
    Our colors shifted
    Twisted,
    Committed to something
    I couldn't understand.
    Step after step,
    The dull purple and almost-unseen green
    Became nothing but imperfect,
    Disgusting,
    Molded,
    Dark gray.
