Summer of Verses - Poem 14 - Up, Up, and You get the Picture…

By: John E. Murray, III

Up, up, and away from

The newly formed layers of concrete Into the cushy pillows of little sleep.

Up, up, and away from

The familiar phases of dark and light Into the soft glows of the pulsing spark.

Up, up, and away from

The toys of coming technology Into the papers tending toward history.

Up, up, and away from

Work, friends, and family Into the solitude of a speck others barely see.

Up, up, and away

Bring back the comfort of yesterday

And, stay lost for a future day.
