chatter of the squirrel

-waning-

 

This poem was done as a homework assignment for my creative writing class. The assignment was to describe the essence of blue without using the word blue or any other color words: azure, cobalt, sapphire etc.

 

the sound of a liberated trumpet with the rhythm of the ocean crashing breathing in deep sighs. slowly upon its breast. like heaven washing over you with smiles from tired eyes its only a dream that crescendos in a dimly lit hall. still resonating with a bassline that left the room long ago. into nights where the stars were made to be covered by clouds and the distinct sound of soaked sole pressing deep. you feel in the way that the moon reflects the sea. silently shocked she smiles remembering the way it feels to understand that each step is a lessening reach of the tide.
