Daydream receiver

Today looks as good as it did yesterday
A nice sunny day
A few scattered clouds moving through endless shades of blue
Tickling the tops of trees creating a calm breeze
To in turn quickly cut through grass blades below
I smiled as a colourful nature breathing life from the sun
Wonderful
Now as I watch sunlight sink below the earth
My eye catches sight of a rare star birth
Then I’m dazzled by the bright colours reflected from you
Beauty I see, my senses infected
A small raindrop word “hi” falls from your lips
When I reply, I can’t seem to stop
You stand and smile, then I run out of breath
So I pause to inhale, but can’t under your eye
When you start speaking again
I notice your hand next to your head
I watch as you leave with your mobile phone
I check mine
Batteries dead.
