Maria A. Arana

walking along the path… 


walking along the path

where pink trees look like

marshmallows

and cotton candy

turning the corner

a bright light beckons

and I comply

following alongside green bushes

the road is clear

 


 

life brings it on

 

you have to walk to get anywhere

to reach the end of the road

to open the barn door

to pet your horse out by the brook

walking with your two feet on the ground

head in the clouds

watching

listening

always moving

 

 

 

 

i want to pour my heart…

 

i want to pour my heart out

but the words get muffled

jumbled in a grin

only certain animals could muster

it isn’t the reign or the life of an orchid

that reminds me of how it was

the words just stop and the heart pains

and no pill could snatch that hurt away
