![]() MusingsA Poem by R. Oxley![]() Ars poetica, from the point of view of the speaker calling to their reader, or from the point of view of the inspiration calling to the writer![]() Daydream awhile I will weave new memories to the tune of old love all but forgotten Here distance and time are thin shadows Here a catalpa baptizes us in white-moment blooms Maybe I was there once on your side of forever visiting leaving fingerprint clues to lead you here Maybe we are adrift You have forgotten the path here I lost my way there but I am not gone yet still burning signal fires building lighthouses setting off flares and fireworks shooting blanks playing with pyrotechnics firing cannons lighting candles and lanterns to guide you here I am waiting Come home. © 2021 R. OxleyAuthor's Note
