Gan Fall

All I ask is that you try

To lay in the grass and look at the clouds.

See them as more than water drops condensed in the sky

See them as rabbits. As dragons. As ships.

Watch as they drift by

Blocking the sun, like a stage curtain at intermission

Now envision your problems

Your stresses. Your fears.

Feed them to the rabbits. Offer them to the dragons. Let them set sail on the ships.

And watch as they slowly drift

Out of sight. Over the horizon

Curtains up. Feel the fresh sun on your cheeks

Now begins Act 2
