Yesterday's Hours Lie Unread

That I might sit
by the window waiting to live
all my days
on the edge of this
I write.
Within the quality of a voice
falling on every word
I hear in my heart,
full of colorful passion and light.

By me, many things
still breathe
encircling to rise inside
meanings I find
when waking,
bringing tears of joyful destiny.
Their beauty reveals who I am
in blissful shades
of ink-filled ecstasy.

These true feelings run deep
waves sweetly falling
from the hands
of my muse.
This I have always known.
Reflecting sudden stirrings
of my mood in winds
that move these hands
of my own.

Should I become something new
perhaps a silent beauty
sitting here
mulling words over in her head.
Questioning tomorrow
before discovering
yesterday’s hours still lie
unread.

I've read your requests and this poem stands out. It moves as gentle as the soul who penned it. I feel its sway as it enters my mind, soothing the heart within me. Your poetry is beautiful and I love to find your words cascading over my soul. Its like your spirit wipes away the tears on my face relieving the pains of a tired life.

Inkfilled ecstasy - a known condition that comes with the mulling of words...

This Poem reminds me of how my Granny used to sit in her rocker and tell me stories of her youth. She was in her nineties at the time. She past away in 1972 at age 101

Home run, Neva, that's all I can say as to how brilliant this work of art is.

[Joe Shetina]

Ages old conflict, illustrated beautifully.

[PrincessZeldaWannabe]

As usual, really beautiful and elegant. I think everyone can relate to figuring who they are and what they want to be.

A woman debating between being what is known and accepted or being what is unique and questionable, between solving every problem or living every moment. Where does the answer lie but within her own thoughts of yesterday.
