Off in the distance
A splash of color
Like an amateur painter's watercolor
Catches my eye

It's bending and flowing
Shape shifting as i focus my eyes:
Now a dot
Now a crescent

It continues to morph
As I draw nearer

My imagination runs wild
It's a bird, becoming a rocket
As its wings fold onto its sleek metal body
The rocket flies away
Leaving strands of my imagination in its wake

I'm not really sure what this is about. It just came to me one day.
