Stuck in Traffic And Observing My Surroundings

beachbound0809
They barely notice
the intermittent clouds
casting their shadows
where they all perform.
It's a backdrop of wonder
for multiple sunbeams.

And just a single sunbeam
demands that they notice
and look with wonder
to the lofty clouds.
When the angels perform,
the clouds are their shadows.

But not like the shadows
that shows when a light beams
on one about to perform.
That makes people take notice
and rid their mind of clouds
that could dispel their wonder.

This nature makes me wander
among the mind shadows
where so many things cloud
my mind that craves sunbeams
and doesn't want to notice
the creeping, heavy, dark forms.

Watching cloud and sun perform
causes me to wonder
why many do not notice
the divine, flitting shadows
that dance between the sunbeams'
luminescence in the clouds.

And you! You disregard them,
eschew the way they perform.
Sitting in "Park" you curse and wonder
if your boss will notice
when you sneak in like a shadow.

But I see the clouds and wonder.
I marvel as they perform their shadow-
dance. I praise the sunbeams. I notice.

I'm a recent college grad about to start graduate school in Florida in May. I love to write fiction, poetry, prose, etc... and I figure this is the best time to get some thoughts and enjoy creativity before...  View profile
