Balcony under me
Live and see
Go listening
Out of reach
on the beach
Wondering
if waves are free
Mountains left craters,
didn’t know where to turn
Oceans ran to rivers,
only to watch them burn
Flying feathers fled
before the day went back to bed
In the sand,
I just feel different
Distance leaves
before me
Lost at sea,
then glistening
Silent feet
on a beach,
watching these
seasons swing
Summer surrounding me
Simmering
the cool down tea
Out of reach
Useless, speech
Wandering
with one last plea
Bridges crossed time zones,
couldn’t take just one side
Fire turned into lightning,
only to melt down the sky
Crawling creatures shred
Before the night goes back to bed
In the sand,
I just feel different
Breezes leap
suddenly
Pushing these
as they breathe
Silent feet
on a beach
Watching these
Seasons swing
this is your life chuck johnson
