Colors bursting across the sky, Soul is thirsting to rise and fly, Into the air, escaping life, Away from care, worry, strife; Above the earth, toward the sun, Full of mirth, reckless fun. No path to trace from those before, An open space, my open door. My spirit sails on endless seas, A course unveiled to eternity! Copyright © 2022 Brandon Ellrich

No it was a mistake. Sometimes when updating, it publishes. 😱

That second stanza?? I feel that. It makes me want to venture to some faraway place where no one can find me, where my worries and every dark thing that haunts me stops in its tracks and is flooded in a river of peace; somewhere where silence is only interrupted by the blissful sound of book pages turning and the whimsical slurping of hot tea (or hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream).
Well done, my friend.
