Blue is the sky
Blue is the water
Endlessly going on and on
Full of secrets
Enriched with life
Fluttered with greenery
The strong smell of alcohol and bleach
The rumble of a motorboat
As fumes of gasoline empty into the sky
Flavors upon the mouth rich in design
A mural of koi fish on the way
Carbohydrate particles dancing in my mouth from a fizzy soda drink
Off somewhere is a colorful cherry blossom festival
Here we are in the ocean
The salty waves rustle past
As we savor each delicacy
Soy on rice and fish high in Sodium Iodine
Technology meets nature
Practicality triumph over creativity
It doesn't seem like much but the lights are in fact floating spaceships
The pure holiness
Is not in striving to become a good person
Or in overcoming obstacles of hardship
It is in Environmental Sustainability, Multiculturalism and in Neo-Grunge
That world faded
For every step forward
There are two steps back
A triumph and a fall
Death and rebirth
Green iridescent trees reflecting the sunlight
Somewhere in the woods, the faeries play
They too will disappear
The forests of many secret adventures
Become a more distant memory
Then there is peace
A crystal blue of an empty castle
Outside the clouds cross the sky as a whisper of a new day
A girl hiding from it behind the curtains
Dreams of castles and fairytales
With an ever-present God
Who shines in the radiance of the sun
There is a factory too
In it, people live
They accept their fate and they breathe in the toxic-fumed air
Never mind their lungs
They already visited their graves and viewed them more than qualified
Then they take their cigarettes and puff them too
Puff Puff
Black coffee
Fuzzy television screens
This is how it's supposed to be
Blue skies and roaring waters
Green palm leaves swaying endlessly in the cool ocean breeze
Please transform me
So that I can find inner peace
Not to be concerned with what others think
Listening to my own heart
Amidst the city noise
May I become a nymph
Separated from the hands of men
With ethereal beauty and mysteriousness
Listening to the sounds of the waterfall
Falling deeper into a trance
Moonbeams in my hair
Crystals littered throughout the cave
Utter serenity
Melting into the ruins of ancient history
I find that my eyes are looking at God
He is not white-haired and wearing robes but he has antlers sprouting out of his head and water flowing from his mouth
His face - a crazy scowl
The halls of his palace
Echoing years of human history
The halls are white, pristine and empty
Clouds move soundlessly outside the tall windows
People once alive now are turned into statues
Frozen in the midst of some action
In the middle of their lives
Their eyes seem vacant
As if they were waiting to be woken up
