Diverted my attention for just a moment
Inside the cavernous expanse beyond
Sapphire skies shimmered above the prairie
Today I was looking to escape my existence
Replace reality with fantasy and forget-me-nots
Allow me to dance with whip-poor-wills
Curiosity is a curse to this culture, insisting we conform
Tenacity is seen as treason in a this grey society
Intention is an insult to any set in their ways
Offended by the mere suggestion of another option
Never mind, I am distracted by nature's truth
