The warmth,
Like a blanket,
Cascading into ripples,
Ripples of light,
Light tendrils,
Tendrils like fingers,
Fingers caressing my skin.
My face in the sunlight,
Casting shadows on the sidewalk,
Sidewalk chalk drawings,
Drawings of childhood memories,
Memories fluttering,
Fluttering birds,
Birds soaring high,
High hopes && hightened dreams.
The past won't creep up on me,
It's the blackened pit,
Pits of woe,
Woe is me,
I am what I am,
Am nothing what I used to be,
Be someone new.

Did this for a contest by my.stars.dont.shine.
:]
I didn't really like the selection of quotes this time.
But I worked with what was given.
And I enjoy the idea I got !
