Home
remnants of sun
cast shadows on my face
like torchlight at midnight
emerald grass
sways slightly in the cool breeze
blackbirds chirp joyfully in the treetops
“follow me!” a child shouts playfully
gravel crunches
under my feet every step I take
like potato chips
bubblegum pink
bumblebee yellow
crimson red, and tangerine
are smeared across the sky
smile plastered on my face
I become a silhouette
in the distance
