Content with Simply DreamingA Poem by Kelly A. BrownThe long morrow sits silently ahead, with no white noise to cloud it's ears. It has always been there, waiting steadily for my arrival and it's held the same patient gaze that is content enough to wait through all of my yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows. I don't know what I'll be wearing then, maybe the same as now, or perhaps I'll don a more old lady nursing home look. Who knows what tattoos I may have by then, showing my dissatisfaction for the way history happened. I may be wrinkled from old age or prematurely grayed from the stress of carrying all of this weight. I may have a baby, or two, or more, or none at all. The morrow waits to finally taketh away the morseful, eternal liftime of welling up, involuntary sadness, the everlasting yelling at, fighting for, wondering, pondering peering, loving, pining, pining for someone to love, to love you back, gossiping, watching, waiting, working, drinking, sobbing, drinking some more, shaking, thinking dreaming, surviving all will be removed in a sweeping brush of air. I could not possibly imagine the way it would feel in my mortal, waking mind. Not even Buddha or Pat Robertson could explain the feeling accurately. The long morrow, patiently awaits my arrival. For now, I must remain content with simply dreaming. © 2013 Kelly A. Brown |
