The Adventure

Walking out the door
Golden rays of light hit me
The coolness of the breeze
Sent shivers down my spine

A block away
Dead and brown
What used to be full of color
Passed away from the cold

Ten blocks away
Lifeless trees scatter
Barren of leaves
Whispers continuously

Thirty blocks away
A massive building pops into view
Full of life on the inside
Divided into four sections

Final stop
I strode in
White and blue swirled
My flight awaited

Up in the air
I looked out the window
Swirls of green and blue
All around

Darkness closes in
Lightning flashed by
Rumbles felt
White ice balls struck the sides

Clear as day
Orange and purple danced across the sky
As blackness followed
Giving way to stars

Lurches came
Down on the ground
Stiff and frozen
I walked off

In a comfy room
I slept away
Until next day
When visiting places began
