This Beautiful World by Kerry K. Clark

This Beautiful World

The sun creeps into my window, quite as a mouse.
Finds my face and warmly wakes it from a joyous peace.
My eyes wander the earth outside, and the corners of my mouth point up.
They point to a glorious sky, rich with clouds of cotton candy dancing the moon away.
I hear a growling sound, leave this eternal happiness I must.

The stairs whistle as I gracefully glide down each precious step.
My warm flesh lays itself upon a monster, which suffocates the world below.
It hides the beauty of the past, looking innocently back at me.

I wander down this perpetual hall, to see my own image, but many years before, having fun in a frozen moment, that will last a thousand years.
As I keep walking to find myself at my destination, that I had forgotten about while I wandered in this realistic dream.
I am no longer hearing the growling noise, for my hunger was stifled by this beautiful world...
this beautiful, beautiful world that we live in today, that we take for granted each day!
