W A K E

picture perfect

I watched as clouds perform a soft ballet

Greenest grass dissolving over plains

And waves lap softy, like a Claude Monet

That scene was sculpted by the smartest minds

Something's missing in this perfect world

Gaps in the matrix, uncreated

And so I left, and with sails unfurled

I changed what was anticipated

Alone I drifted, weaker by day

Then the hole expanded, at me it gnaws

But then I saw you, at the edge of the bay

And realized I was finally free

Flowing in the wind, my soul is not so alone

With you, my friend, I welcome the unknown

(a sonnet)
