Perspective

(Originally written: March 16, 2020)

With the world turned upside down, I look upon the clouds as if they are a vast ocean. Backlit by the setting sun, these puffy waves glow with a brilliant fire that would never burn a curious hand. 

With the world turned upside down, I crash through the waves. Flaming clouds grant me a cold embrace, letting me pass through without argument. Flightless as I am, they think of me as a bird. 

With the world turned upside down, my world turns right side up.
