Camera

Cameras are the eye
By which we see
The dreams we wish we could have
In reality 
Come to life
Snap the photo
And it is done
Imagination is our best friend

Blockbuster

When our eyes close
The show begins
As our eyelids act as a movie screen
Butterflies flutter in spiral flight
Into the mouths of snap dragons
As they breathe floral fire onto their wings
Little do they realize they are merely natures artist
As it is from their flames the monarch finds its soul
It's purpose
It's vibrancy
And fireflies dance to beat of the wind
Through the trees 
Through the meadow
As they synchronize for their finale
The sun begins to rise as the dew falls on  the morning glory's petals
A new day dawning
Open the curtains
For your eyes have told a story worth telling
And given purpose to the pen on your paper
Bliss

Paradise

Night has fallen
On another day in paradise
Wouldn't it be nice
If that was true?
Sadness fills the hallowed walls
Of a broken home
While laughter and celebration
Encompasses the streets
While anger and hatred seep into the souls of those lost,
Hopeless
While happiness overflows the hearts of children
Simply because it's Sunday
The day of rest
The day we fix the broken
The day jubilant street goers sing their hallelujah chorus
The day the anger subsides, and the lost are found 
There is hope in the eyes of children
If only we could see what they see

Night has fallen
On another day in paradise
Wouldn't it be nice
If it were true?
