"Haruumph..."

Yep THAT is the title

“Haruumph…”

 

Haruumph… life so far huh?  well, there HAS been snow - a bit.  And a lil sun - on occasion.  Rain by the bucket, measurable cold and S H O P P I N G!  Even window shopping is - IS - allowed, if just to draw the eyes to the faces of others looking on in desire and wish!  Eating out is an adventure in affording and hopefully not disappointing in reality.  Reading is as always a diversion best left to lightness and zombie apocalypses BUT music!  Music holds thoughts of sharing during the silences after.  Hmmm… life - continues… the alternative is unacceptable.

 

Do you drive?  

Are you driven?  Everywhere?  

Go …Anywhere?

Walk in the sun?

The dark?  Moonlight, noonlight -

ever aflight…

Gaze from others' shadows?

Live others' dreams?  Lives?

Ever yours? …Never?

…ever?

 

Ever …Wish by-the-stars,

wish for stars…

wish-at-all

BE …as all… or just as one?

…even none?

 

Stand in the rain?

Perhaps …ARE the rain?

Breathe a lover's breath - shared

though like-as-not unshared

but you DO taste …you DO

taste …LOVE… in the music…

of life.

 

Do you SEE -

where you are, were, will be?

Do you remember?

Will you …dance

with the faire?

Just once …once…

as so very, very few have

or ever will -

and share that moment

as only YOU can -

if not for you

…then for me?

 

Dear…

…for me - because you can.

I like this. This is a good read. I find it moving and also, very, very amusing!

I like the pacing of the poem. How it starts out slowly then quickens for me. (I guess, that's just how I read it ) Haruumph

If only I had read this sooner. Especially, during times, where I just didn't want to get out of bed. And just stay there; lost in a daydream.

Can sweet talk me out of bed. Haruumph I meant, snap me out of a day dream... haha - and back to where "life - continues… (because) the alternative is unacceptable"

This is beautiful, sweet, and I found to be, very romantic.

(Haruumph) great use of this! 💯

Life IS just like this... I'm glad I could share a smile with you.

This is moving, thought provoking and humorous, all at the same time. I enjoyed it very much. Well done.
