Reverie

Sleepy eyes gaze from a distance
Faces so vivid
In seconds, are forgotten
Clothes change each day
Colors bright and sometimes gray
Faces painted
Smudge in the heat
Umbrellas in the rain
Like flowers in spring
Kites fly in the sky
Children chase dragonflies
Leaves fall; trees die
Seeds remain
A new sprout lives
New houses later repainted
Fancy gate now low hedges
Scenery is fast moving
But the sky remains unchanged...

About This Poem

Last Few Words: Well I just copy-pasted this from my another account on Writer's. I never thought I could actually write a poem without putting too much negativity, pessimism, and darkness

Thanks ^_^

Well thanks for the compliment =) I wonder why I don't share my poems like this too >.< Maybe because I want a poem with a darker mood that expresses much about my being but the other side of myself is someone who adores everything that is short-lived and fleeting :p

Thanks again ^_^
