Summer Session Prompt #4 - Photo prompt
‘Magical Thinking’ - written by Sarah Morris, all rights reserved
There would have been a before
Of course, something came after
That single moment
Someone with a camera captured
Two friends or could-be lovers
Riding bikes, side by side
Leaning out to one another
both of their arms up and open wide
Their fingers meet in the middle and still
Somehow they stay upright
Impossible, maybe a little
There’s more here than what meets the eye
But
I don’t want to look any closer
I don’t want to learn the secret
I don’t want to dig any deeper
Seek out some purpose or meaning
I’m tired of residing
in a world of ration and reason
I miss the days of seeing is believing
I miss the years of magical thinking
There would have been a whole story
This was only a page
An endless summer of carefree glory
And this was just another perfect day
And the practice it took
the mechanics involved
The previous attempts that ended in a fall
Precautions in place
the tricks of the trade
on the cutting room floor
And that’s where they remain
So I can marvel at how their silhouettes
stretch across the violet sky
No worries about the consequence
of leaving gravity defied
I don’t want to look any closer
I don’t want to learn the secret
I don’t want to dig any deeper
Seek out some purpose or meaning
I’m tired of residing
in a world of ration and reason
I miss the days of seeing is believing
I miss the years of magical thinking
And yeah, I know the truth
And baby, so do you
Can’t we today
Just leave them there
Forever
suspended
in mid-air
I don’t want to look any closer
I don’t want to learn the secret
I don’t want to dig any deeper
Seek out some purpose or meaning
I’m tired of residing in a world of ration and reason
I miss the days of seeing is believing
I miss the years of magical thinking
