I looked around today.

Dec.19th

I looked at the mountain today, 

Beautiful, with ponds filled full of algae.

It made me smile; every time I saw the sun gently glint off the red hillside .

As if it was not in a rush to chase the leaves into their shadows, and instead rested atop.

I looked at the mountain today,

Chaotic, with storm clouds Jupiter forms.

It made me worry; every time the rain washed away memories from trails.

As if we all are searching for that one piece, if we could only find it we would never forget. 

I looked at the mountain today,

Wonderland, with an overwhelming smell.

It made me laugh; to think that a mule could rest next to a flower.

As if flowers smell like an ass, and an ass has a sweet fragrance to it.

When I looked at the mountain today, I saw you.

Awestruck, with illustrious ponds full of water. 

It made me curious; every time I looked into those waters, if you knew it too.

As if a blind man does not know when music is playing, or would rather just see what is on T.V..

I looked at the ground today,

Dull, with dirt and rocks that do not forget.

It made me cry; to see a natural disaster so significant go unnoticed. 

As if the cosmos was aware of your energy difference, but nobody can find Waldo.

I looked at the mountain today,

Breathtaking, with a horizon that shines amber

It made me love; caring for others that shine with such complex colors.

As if people were colorless, and the only colors we could judge were their emotions.

I looked at the sky today,

Free, with swarms of birds harmonizing.

It made me happy; like kids on Christmas that got to open presents early.

As if our wishes were all granted a year in advance, and we wrote pages.

I looked around me today, and it reminded me to feel.
