Because Randy Asked Me To

For Randy Baker's Prompted #5 challenge.

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a month ago Updated about a month ago 1 min read

Slicing through the canvas

Dancing on the stars

Catching the breeze before us

So grace glides to where we are

Meeting in the middle

Navigating more than just the sea

Escaping clouds and puddles

To find the better part of me

Rhyme is lost for reason

Reasons we can’t comprehend

To stay results in treason

The unknown plans we understand

Let’s throw away the compass

Wander wild into the day

Live our lives uncharted

(is there any other way?)
