I know I’m in the minority with these feelings. This poem is a raw reflection of my experience living in this world.

And it's okay if you don't agree, or if you appreciate life as we know it. I just long for simplicity and the beauty that could be.

I grew up on an island in the Bay Area, and now live in the valley, and when I stumble across these Ice Plants, it takes me back to my youth and old home.

"If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight."
