A walk in the park

In a mellow world
As I walk in the park
I have no words to say
No words to speak

The thoughts were placid
As the river flows
Into the deep
Off shore

Looking for words
I danced down the merry park
Among the people
Who had come for a walk

Out there on a bench
On each end
Transcended two figures
Shadowy statures
With philosophical hands

Eyes protruding towards me
I watched them direct me to a seat beside them
And as they shook and quivered
Their shadows seemed to blur
From the projectiles that had given them birth

In that dream
I walked to that seat
A misty cloud walk
That I had ever walked
Their eyes following my steps
To the seat that they had chosen

As I sat beside those philosophical hands
They looked away into the mist that I had walked
Trying to convey what they saw

Into the mist and through the chilly air
There seemed to be dancing walkers
With a motion and style
Each to their own

Motionless we sat together
Seeing the charade
Admiring the art being swayed by our eyes
So synced and wondrous
That I forgot to ask
Of what we were witnessing

With dismay
I intently looked
At the shadowy creatures
That sat beside me
To find out the meaning of the sways

As I looked away back into the mist
I saw a realm close by
The rough terrain off the park
Sunny and clear
Where no one existed
As if all people had been swayed by the creatures into the mist

There laid a hole
A perfect round
Cutty edges
And a fall that seemed too deep

I seemed to be swayed again into the mist
As the hole was uninteresting
I started looking away
When in a sudden splash
A steam of watchers came about the hole
With their right hand curved
Their index finger pointing towards us

With no placards
No language
They seemed gagged
And worrisome about what I did not understand

A blue light displayed in the area they stood
Where foot steps were placed
In the size of my feet
That I had walked
In the merry park

And as my eyes fell on the steps
All disappeared
Without a meaning, an explanation
Left without the beat of the conversation
That was about to be

The shadowy creatures seemed to be missing
Besides where I sat
On the bench
In the park that I come to walk

Bewildered
I got up to walk the path
And so I walked
In the merry park
Through the sunny terrain
With the walkers that were dancing in the mist
That they called art
