"Every car held staring eyes and the sky felt full of ravens."

Sometimes when the sun is out,
I take my umbrella for a stroll,
Casting shadows on my footsteps,
Jumping over the cracked tiles,
Throwing cautious glances about,
Forgetting to inhale,
Always forgetting to look up,
But forever chasing the light.

“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one” Albert Einstein

SPACED OUT
For a friend with struggles.

Up in space is where I love to be,
Improving my intergalactic vocabulary.

Meeting aliens is what I do,
Keeping them a secret from all of you.

My spaceship looks just like an over sized plate,
But driving it round makes me bring up what I ate.

But sometimes space isn’t all its made out to be,
Sometimes, many times, always times I feel lonely.

Its really really dark and you cant see anywhere,
I used to be afraid of the dark but now I don’t care.

In space there is no beginning or end,
Its easy to get lost and go round the bend.

Driving around planets can be rather scary,
Other times, dodging satellites can get quite dreary.

If I went back home I don’t know what I’d be
Maybe a little boy, all confused, age three?

And sometimes when I think hard enough,
It’s hard to tell what’s real from bluff.

And sometimes when I think I’m in space,
I’m really just in bed, dreaming of that place…

"If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world" CS Lewis

A few things I bet you didn't know....

Lightning storms are the sound of new life being created.

Big waves are what happens when a lot of people are happy and jump around.

The rain is good because it gives the birds a reason to rest.

Creaking floor boards and banging doors are messages of love that were never heard. They're just in another language so we don't understand them.

Volcanoes erupt when the world gets stressed out.

Clouds are day dreams that got away.

Stars are little messages from other worlds.

Shadows are dark because they are sad peoples thoughts.

Thunder is a collection of all the echoes in the world.

The wind gets stronger when lots of people whistle.

Sand storms are dust particle weddings.

Trees fall over when they are lonely.

There are people on the other side of the mirror. They're just copy cats.

The earth spins on an axis because it loves to be twirled.

Umbrellas keep to themselves until they open up.
