Delusional Poem by Maya Hanson

I'm chasing a pipedream on the horizon
Capturing the figures I'll need
to send a letter forward to the future
of all the trials, all the breaths of life we breathe

Cornflower grass, iris rainstorms
I'm stealing colors till the planets come down
Racing so the energy haunts me through
Center of gravity, I circle back around

Our world is a place of paradoxes
I'm pulling on the threads to make you see
that just because we've seen better skies
doesn't mean we have nothing left we fight to keep

As starbursts explode behind the elegance
I'm calmer than a sailboat in a storm
Maybe I'm delusional, cascading for a pipedream
or maybe I'm just in love, in a word
