I often picture myself
lolling on grass, staring at the sky-
longing to submerge myself in the vast island of
seemingly nothingness.
where stars romance with me,
I touch the sun along with the moon
with other celestial bodies thrown in good measure;
away from the banality
of routine.
such a place where
anonymity gets to be so much a part
striking individuality, striving even further to exist
with determination
and dignity.
as an afterthought
that reminds me, ennui setting in,
apparently, for no reason, I have been bored
with you of late.

As your writing generally is, this is another excellent poem. It's so good to find people that still are writing on here.
Welcome back!
I ask why should a romantic dreamer, lost in nature's vast space, suddenly realise that she's bored with someone.
Did she learn some truth fron the infinite?
