"I Took A Walk"
by Damascus Ochre

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I took a walk
Outside in the moon
Walking along
I realized
Just how
Life is beautiful
The trees were still
The breath silent
Slightest of breezes
Not even a brush
Azure skies
And silver clouds
Unbroken
Unyielding
The leaves filtered
The full moon
In fragments of fog
Tornado twister clouds
Obscuring a half
Fresh, crisp air
Dinner scent is far away
But I'm at home...

Very not my usual style. So very little description it scares. So very
little coherency it scares. So little eccentricity it scares.

But it was one of those spur of the moment things. I was walking outside
(8.35p, so it's dark but still bright enough to see pretty easily) to take
out the trash, and everything just seemed so happy and fresh. Things were
settling down, and I was...well, happy. ^^ I haven't felt that content for
a few days now. It was nice.

The poem in my head as I was walking to/from the Dumpsters was slightly
different...but that's okay. I think I'm okay with this poem. n.n
