Tinge of paradise

My thoughts take wing and fly with the parrots, bratty and saucy, diving and screaming with refreshing glee.. 

freeing my heart from earth-bound shackles, they soar over the clouds, changing shapes and colors with matching speed.. 

filling my mind with shifting seasons, too swift to single or recognize.. 

creating fields of playful mines, they perceive a hand beckoning compellingly.. 

one jumps on, and others follow.. flushed with exhilaration, bathed in golden sunrise.. 

walking with the sun, leaving its footprints in the dark spaces within.. disintegrating, reborn, refreshed.. ready to start a new story with a tinge of paradise..
