"An Intermission"
by Branden Parker

euphoric experience
something that is seen
heightening the senses
feeling like a dream

time slowly ticks
as worries drift away
breath in deep
forget about the day

for a moment, this life, seems to
make sense, feeling happy
but reality, it steps in, and that
feeling, is gone

do not over-think
just let the mind flow
negativity
all pushed down below

the suns rays warm
a cool breeze blows
instances like this
the only time it shows

the mind soon forgets
as the day breaks through
instant return
to what’s perceived as true

gone is the thought
the way which once was felt
wait again for the time
when ice starts to melt
An Intermission
