Boxed In
Pinpricked -
imagination reversed
the heavens,
turned it all upon its head.
Birds looked up
to see imagery focused
on the drop of the future.
Reflective thought,
inspiration curves along
artistic sips of fine-lines,
time stared at creativity,
blinked and brought a new age.
Frown, it shall be
turned into a smile
here in this perspective.
Delve deep,
crack the angles,
postcard scenes
trip light into the dark,
boxed in,
the world is open.
