Perhaps

You just never know what might happen...

 

 

 

 

Perhaps

 

 

Perhaps…it is the light,

reflecting in symphonic visions from dampened roadways,

serenading my heart in melodies of whispered thoughts,

painting lyrical lilacs on a gray canvas

with fraying edges

 

even as clouds connect the sun,

I sit alone, on a worn leather seat,

fingers tapping the steering wheel in rhythm with

the endless miles connecting my cultivated dreams

with pictured fantasies that may prove to be just that…

fantasies

 

yet I look,

optimistic eyes perusing spring fed corn row wishes

and sunflower sonatas,

which my heart faces with fevered emotion

and anticipation of each new coming day…

 

(constantly aware of roadblocks set up

along the shoulders of your heart)

 

Distractions come as an eclipse darkens the sky

or is it my heavy eyelids causing the detour,

yet my soul is alert to the possibilities

of what might be waiting,

behind that locked door

where silence allows me to hear your words…

written in the wee hours of the morning

 

an invitation to share this morning with one who matters,

one who touches me, one who feeds me

with a simple hello and a cup of coffee

or something more…fantasies become realities…perhaps

Perhaps...my favorite word. LOL.
That word, for me offers chances...and makes me hopeful when I dream of something.

Splendid one, Jack. Keep it up!

You write with extraordinary power and variation, Jack.. alway a pleasure to read, you have style! Take your reader in a scene as a fellow traveller, smiling at the thought: '.. tapping the steering wheel in rhythm with ~ the endless miles connecting my cultivated dreams ~ with pictured fantasies that may prove to be just that… ~ fantasies .. .. '

Thought before thought becomes a necessity and need is that wake up cuppa? Seems more than thoughts, more a wondering if .. a might it or not .. will today be the day? Seems thoughts grow into needs and needs into hope .. a recipe for an answer maybe.

Thanks so much Garden Girl. Indeed, a recipe for an answer...maybe. :)
