Digital Poem

By: Jessica Jang

I walked up to the field of green,

I stood still for a little while.

I sat down where I couldn’t be seen,

My own little world inside a square mile.

The sun felt like fire on my face,

The air was clear, not a cloud in the

sky.

I was deep in outer space,

On Earth, I closed my eyes and

sighed.

I lay down and looked across the field,

A pair of red

sunglasses stared back

at me.

I picked them up, for my eyes they were a shield,

From the fireball in

the sky that dried the

trees.

This first day of summer was what I needed most,

A few hours without worry, stress, or care.

For a little while, I could be an invisible ghost,

I could pretend I was walking on air.

If I really wanted to, I could lie here forever,

Though I have my

life to catch up to.

Forgetting completely about my worries isn’t a possibility, ever,

It would be nice, but it is something I could never

do.

So I’ll stay here in the field of green grass,

For only a few more minutes of serenity.

And the second I no longer need my

red sunglasses,

I will return back to my reality.
