I feel elated at the view of red and blue skies,
Sapphire dawns,
Velvet nights…
I dream of wearing gowns that emulate their flair,
For I fancy their luminescence,
I envy their ineffable glare.
However,
I am a blue sky because peacefulness lives in me,
A red sky because passion galvanizes my spirit into
Chasing what’s fiery and free.
I am a sapphire dawn because demure darkness understands me
A velvet night because sophisticated art frees me
Like Beat poetry.
Whatever,
Nature always rewards me,
For how terrifying, mysterious, thrilling I am,
Like a conspiracy theory.
Like water and fire.
I cool down,
Nonetheless, I burn higher.
