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.
