“The Unknown”
By Ashley O’Hare
The sun’s shining;
gleaming between my fingertips.
It’s a lovely day,
but I can’t enjoy a minute of it.
My mind is wandering–
I hardly recognize where my body is,
but the hair rising on my arm
let me know where you are.
The tweeting birds
remind sure I’m still here.
On the surface
it’s a fairy tale;
a dream come true–
who wouldn’t want to spend
a peaceful day in nature
looking at you?
No one knows
the movie playing in my mind.
No one knows
how someone can be so cruel
yet appear so kind.
