like a hermit crab

like a hermit crab,
i am taking inventory,
homeless,
without any destiny,
i'll bask in the golden sun,
i'll look to the sky
drenched
in a perfect blue,

a spider weaving just another
story
and once again
live out
this fantasy in my head,
shake
the sand
from my Cinderella slippers,
the bougainvillea
blossoming
in my sleepy paradise.

like a hermit crab

What a lovely web you weave, a damnation of all around and a lovely way to be. A sleepy tiny thing, that the wind will not blow on, and the blue will envelope in its eternal arms. Thats poetic if ever I wrote it, cute piece of writing there Kaila, I await some more, Yours Ian.T
