A sentence starts out like a blank stare into the distance,
A sunset overlooking an ocean like the world never ends,
Confused, and unsure what to think,
Deep connections emerge into deep thought,
What feels right and what feels wrong,
A person debating what is life really about,
Is it that blank stare or is it something more?
A change? A desire? Something we feel is necessary.
Is it who we really are, or who we want us to be,
All alone, looking at this incredible view,
Wishing, thinking, feeling, wondering, wanting,
Then a little girl walks passed, playing with the sand like a lost puppy. Finding an interest in something as little as a grain of salt.
The sentence stares into the distant sunset. Am I getting this right? The distraction of the child passing shows the speaker what is really real, yes?
ReplyDeleteI like how you personify the sentence... It definitely puts an existential spin on writing techniques. I also like your range of scope: from sunsets to questions to identity to kids playing in sand! Cool!
