Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

You and I,
we tuck ourselves into the countryside
and let this life here in the city
dissolve.

Only for two days,
but the world seemed different
as I drove into the greenery of life,
past creeks and ponds,
against backsplashes of haylofts and forestry.

We fed scrawny cows in a farm
spied on colts munching on oats
caught a deer hiding in the shadows.

Then we had to return
and we separated again-
you to your miserable existence
and I to mine.

And I wonder,
if life tasted so beautiful
because we slept in each other's arms that night
or because we were unfiltered and together
without the intrusion of our lives separating us.

unfiltered & together is how we are all meant to be, i think.
