Another Day

Just another day? Never when I have you

 

Another day

 

And the skies find blue

On this morning in the city

With the temperature so warm

As I stand to find the meaning

Over asphalt centered lanes

With the street lights set on twinkle

When a billboard reaches out

With a message for the masses

Still my every thought is you

And I dream

 

~Chosen by my eyes to see the wonders love is bringing

Floating in my mind like endless butterflies a’ winging

Melodies of love as every meadowlark is singing

And I dream…oh I dream~

 

People rushing by

At an endless rate of hurry

With their boot straps in a bind

You can see their frowning faces

That watch upon their arms

Flashing minutes changing hours

Till the meetings that they meet

And the notes they will be taking

Still my every thought is you

And I dream

 

~My heart it skips a beat within the rhythm of your smile

Sea shells on a beach now dance in ocean waving style

Meadows filled with green where we may lay a little while

And I dream…oh I dream~

 

Traffic jams ensue

Waving fists and shouting plenty

Driving slower than a snail

Move along we’re in a hurry

But the radio does play

I ignore the mass confusion

For the song that I now hear

Is the one you like to dance to

For my every thought is you

And I dream

 

~Cotton candy clouds project the colors of the evening

In and out of life with all the happiness now weaving

I am coming home, your open arms so soon receiving

And I dream…oh I dream~

Love how you wrote this poem. The interplay of the street (reality) and the inner dialogue (the dreaming). It read like music to me in its flow.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much. I appreciate you stopping by for a read and leaving such nice comments for me.

love the interplay of city chaos and the peaceful flow of nature in this piece - how the mind lights on different things in the midst of location
I especially liked "streetlights set to twinkle"

I loved your description in this write, my dear friend. It is beautifully set out and flows really well, it's like two poems put together because they clicked. Lovely.

Oh and how do I like this one... it's exceptional Jack... the things you try with your pen to variate, I so love. You combine here so perfectly a dreamers mind with reality, in your stanza's. What a dance... You're the true romantic of this site my friend, I admire your quill... for always picking up the smallest things of beauty that surrounds us... chapeau! so good...

Thank you so much my sweet friend. The sun is setting outside my window right now and with your kind words, it couldn't be a more beautiful sunset.

I'm grateful to be your friend Jack... I'm smiling thanks for all you do! :)

[Angel]

From a jazzy little two step to a waltz, and back again...an exhilarating dance!
Brilliant write, my friend!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much sweet Angel. Smiling because of you.

I really like this one Jack. The way the world presents itself in front of us and how for most we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the grind and the stress, but also, how when we miss someone, we find ourselves removed from that harsh world and live in dreams that play out in our minds. I can relate my friend and feel this one through and through. Well done.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Astro. Yes that feeling is very well known by me, I am happy you know it too.

[Astro]

Cheers buddy!
