MusingsA Poem by R. OxleyArs 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 writerDaydream 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
