Come spring, and moss unfurls to greet sunlight.
Build flora and fauna out of its rays
The emerging light has a stunning display!
a display of lights and stars and every child’s dream
the sunlight shines bright on the seaside
The ballgown shone like a chandelier
It had turquoise peacock feathers and rosy pink gems
It sticks out in my lunchbox, sprinkled with garlic and moss.
I could feel my heart beat so clear, my hearing went dull
So dull that you would be able to hear a squirrel
And yet so humid you could reach up and grab a water droplet
As we sailed through the supernova of waves,
I wished we were in the stars so bright above.
It was chasing me. THEY were chasing me.
But I need to keep going, what else am I going to do?
I ran and ran, not even knowing if my destination existed.
And therefore fire is flammable.
The microwave knew this all too well.
Flowers grow in the laundry basket.
