As the world turns from lime to sunset burning sun,

the hopes turn from almighty to all insignificant-

a child's desires turn from hope to lust.

The air changes from soothing to brisk,

your attitude from calm to snappy-

a miraculous thing my surroundings can do.

As the east changes to west,

the earth's tilt affects my mind set,

just as the gates to the water club pull tightly shut.

I watch them float down,

till surrounded by the last reminder of my happiness-

it is warm and inviting when I think of it.

The stone wall accents my color scheme,

affecting only my nightmares-

blocking out all terror that creeks on the other side.

Alone,

in a windowless room,

I plan my return to lime from my sunset burning sun.

Silently devastated,

that my world will change until May-

bringing flowers from the showers of prime.
