Lock Down

If I wanted to freeze a moment
and stay there forever,
would that be so wrong?
If I could lock myself
in a place
where the sun
shone down
and the light played
on my skin,
and my heart felt
as wide as the sky,
would that be asking too much?
I know the answer.
Words
like "freeze" and "lock"
don't mingle well
with words like
"as wide as the sky."
I can't tell if it's
the metaphors
that I'm mixing, or what.
Right now, I feel like
my own folly. Which actually,
come to think about it,
is par for the course.
