Daily Bread

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He walked out of a store
Bread in hand
dough in the other.

Envisioned Her standing
stillness in the street
only movement, was.
 
His racing Heart, thumping
outlines, reverberating Images
that become clearer with time.

Pacing his breath so
as not to pass out,
collapses upon his
dreamy thoughts.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow
Infinite Delicate Perfection.

where shall we the stream
flow in hope the sea...
 
mini are crafts that bring us
to encompassing the Ark.

Floating along right in
center of the eye
storms grow readily
blanketing countryside, raising
grasses anticipation,
plush green these fields
grow in tall, beds of essence.

The man focuses, takes a bite
of his bread and heads for home.

Beautifully done... I'm mesmerized by the idea of a vision being so strong and tangible that it stops someone dead in their tracks and causes them to pause and reflect. I like to think of this as a "love at first sight" idea...though perhaps that was not the intent (but I'm the reader so I can draw my own conclusions :) I imagine what it would feel like to be looked at this way; to be thought of this way. Well done...

thank You very Much Friday:) it was very much like that, only it was a ten second thought they were that person...so love at bad eyesight:) took my breath away:) I saw signs of Her everywhere that day....it was very surreal...but very cosmic feeling!!!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

I've been to that place before...it's a strange place to be.

A simulacrum. The slightest appearance of something or someone in your mind occuring at an unexpected time and place like a faint trace of a dream. You have captured a smallest portion of occurence in a man's thoughts making it significant. Like nucleus to a body. I admire this write. This is a favorite.

Thank You kindly Maryanne-I am humbled.
bread of life(Love) in one hand and (Doe...as in Jane...Written as Dough) in the other...though Doe is known the one in the street was not...only as You stated simulacrum. always appreciate Your fine comments!!!

i got so many flashbacks when i red this... feeling happy, sad, depressed, amused, loved, hated... just so many emotions filling me up in the blink of an eye. great work! it actually made me feel something. didn't realize i still had a heart.

[Souladareatease]

You ALWAYS humble me with Your kind words Creation...You have been missed my friend, I have not seen You for some time!!! I am glad my work sparked emotions within You, they never die, they only dull and sleep when they have been traumatized!!! So good to see You!!!

Sometimes, we are stopped in our tracks by that memory, that vision, that thought, from a precious bygone era...but that we still cling to in hope of finding again some day.

Loved this line...

"where shall we the stream
flow in hope the sea...
mini are crafts that bring us
to encompassing the Ark" - So beautifully said here. We stream along in hope of that sea. Our eternal quest.

But there is still a lot to be dealt with in the present and thankfully, he focused and headed home.

I loved this rendition. It was superbly thought-out and written.
