Can’t Look Away

There I was, standing on the edge of this cliff,

thinking about how time changes so fast;

how these colors change so quickly.

My mind clouded by various different thoughts,

thoughts of love, and happiness.

Memories from the past engulfed me;

some good, some bad, but not strong enough to distract me.

I simply cannot stop staring, at the cliffs on the other side of this edge.

Were my eyes looking for the answers,

answers about the things I can’t explain?

Were they searching for a reason for things I couldn’t do or say?

Or was I simply mesmerized,

by the beauty of this magnificent creation of mother nature?

I don’t recall what was going through my mind at that time,

but I do recall, I recall saying to myself,

“I can’t look away; I just can’t look away.”
