What will be?
Turquoise waves
Royally ripple
Footprints
Of babies
Haunt us

We created
Personal
Monsters
Slimy suds
Washing faces
Scrubbing strongly
Cannot conceal
Dirty dinosaurs

Times of bliss
Dropped like vases
All of a sudden
Black is blacker
White is yellowed
Love is selfish
Squeezed sand
Slips out
Like light

Looking around
Humanity's
Universe
Merely perception
Each their own
What do we share?

Skipping pebbles
What do they feel?
Bouncing on water
Toppling toward
Brighter fish
Glistening scales
Glorified
Bubbles

Fearless chins
Lift to winds
Eyes squinted
Power
Struggles
One glance
Reveals
Worlds

Most succeed because they're determined too
