Wandering

'Wander' They said.
'Wander the world.'
'Test the limits.'
'Explore.'
So I do.
So I wander.
And I explore.
In the day:
The grass is strokes from a painter's paintbrush.
The sun is a ball of laughter.
The trees are proof of resilience.
The river is the sky liquified.
The clouds are balls of fluffy cotton.
At night:
The grass is tinged with what looks almost like frost.
The moon is peace.
The trees are guardians against nightmares.
The river is molten silver.
The clouds are but a whisper, a lullaby just for me.
Wandering has showed me the colors of the world.
Wandering has proved worth while.
But next time I wander,
I want a friend, to share the wonder with.

    Evergreen sprigs line
    The path I took

    And my heart beats in tune
    To each whistle

    Faster, faster
    My thick skinned feet sing

    i wonder what color your tears would be.
    if i were to die tonight,
    what flowers would you pick to remember me?
    if i were to die tonight,
    i wonder how you'd remember me.
    you told me,
    once,
