Electric
blue and neon pink paints the sky as I go
Rushing in
and out the cars before me on the drive
Cool is
the air coming in through the window
Beethoven
lilting haunting melody inside
Happy day,
I think to myself
While
moving clearly in chaos with one look at my surrounds
The sky is
on fire with unbelievable light
The blue
turning pale and brighter
As the
neon pink fades to fiery orange and then gold
The dark
mountain in the distance etched black
Against
the rising sun and I wonder about the day
I wonder
about this life
Such
beauty life can hold
Such
tragedy can it too
The
dichotomy poignant
But so
often unnoticed
How much
else is there unnoticed
As we walk
our days asleep
It doesn’t
matter, I think to myself
Look at
this sky, this magic awe inspiring sky
How could
anything so beautiful exist here?
Here of
all places?
And there
it is again
Ugly gray
free way
Dirty
cars, seemingly rude and frantic drivers
Rushing to
become enslaved for yet another day in paradise
All the
while the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen unfolds
I feel
like a child on Christmas eve just watching the display
And I look
at my fellow members of humanity on the road
I wish
them well, safety and love
And I pull
into my destination

I love it when something as mundane as a drive to work turns into a creative work. I wish I could have taken a picture of that sky. Never before have I seen anything so beautiful. I think the point is that we must always look towards that which uplifts us. There is plenty here to be bothered about but if that is all you focus on, your experience will lack in amazing flavors. There is such an amazing connection to feelings within and what materializes without. We are all full of dichotomy as is this world. If we spent more time reflecting on the purpose of it and what we truly gain immeasurably from it, I think there'd be less harm in this world pulling the pendulum ever-wider. But I am a hopeless dreamer. Blessings for a beautiful day!
