golden crisps of leaves drift down to settle on my head
i smile and shake my hair around my face
walking forward with no real direction in mind
the sun sends its yellow rays down around
putting sparkle in the eyes of anyone outdoors
i can wander where i choose
i believe that nothing could make me turn back home
i thought nothing could bring me down
from this mind set that i have placed myself inside
nobody knows where i am going
nobody i will know will see me
and this doesnt need to matter
i shake my head and laugh loudly to myself again
twirl around in a circle with my arms outstretched
and i feel the world turn
see it pass by me in a blur of greens and oranges
feeling alive
i stop
feeling unnecessarily foolish
who could imagine what it is like to never
to never just take a walk like i have
to wonder if death will strike you down at any moment
alive the first dead the next
sunlight cascades around my figure making me a silouette in the falling light
look at what i have
i think
why cant everyone have this world?
why cant everyone have peace?
