A poem about someone who doesn't appreciate the mundane and the magical
I spent many years with someone who questioned almost everything, and not in a stimulating way. They viewed the mundane with skepticism, unable to fully embrace the beauty that surrounded them. They simply couldn’t let things be as they were; there was always a problem.
Sometimes, the simplest things hold the greatest wonder, and it’s a tragedy when someone can’t see that. This poem, pulled from the archives, reflects that.
You say
The sky is too blue
The sun is too bright
The clouds are too fluffy
The grass is too wet
The stars hang too low
The water chills to the bone
The fire burns too hot
The moon is too shapely
This adventure is a nuisance
That life is too much
…and that’s how I knew
We were never meant to be
I just wish
I realized it sooner
