Entry 1: I Want to Live the Life of a Morning Glory

the concept is to write one piece a day, no topic, no goal, just to write, and to see where it goes.

I WANT TO LIVE THE LIFE OF A MORNING GLORY

I want to live the life of a morning glory. I want to slowly creep and crawl towards the sky. I want to weave myself through the gardens, the fencerows, and the corn fields. I want to flower under the cover of the morning dew, quietly awakening with the eastern facing sun. I want my colors to show in that cool blue glow of the dawn. I want the droplets to form and roll off my petals and my skin like they have since the stories of old. I want to cling to the summer months and fade into the cold. I want to grow and curl with each passing hour and day. I want to envelope the landscapes sharing my beauty with those that appreciate it, only to annoy those that don’t. I want to provide refuge for the creepies and the crawlies. I want to be close my blooms and retreat from the noonday sun. I want to reserve my simple grandeur for those hours when the world is is calm. I want to live the life of a morning glory, eternally growing, modest, stedfast, wispy and wiry, yet forever bold.
