Might we

So many possibilities

 

 

 

 

Might we…

 

 

Might we…

pass on a sidewalk framed by clearance sales

and hot dog vendors

Smiling as to take our attention,

brand our thoughts cosmetically,

alter our daydreams to cast a glow

amidst the haze that is this destiny

 

Might we…

stand on lonely platforms

watching the smoke in the distance

as the 5:00 o’clock

Sunset Liner approaches

with a full head of steam

distracting our eyes with a forgotten whistle tone

 

Might we…

whisper meandering thoughts

of great importance on the wind,

wishing them a safe journey

and hoping these words, our love sick phrases

reach the heart of another

sitting in the crowd all alone

 

Might we…

find if we look beyond the past

covering the darkness

with twinkle lights and glass ornaments,

filling the branches of the future with hope,

that desired happiness

springs from its roots

 

Might we…

dream of cosmic realities in floral dance steps

on kaleidoscope stairways

winding through our thoughts

delivering us to the floor

just above where our eyes meet

 

Might we

live in and around long distance shadows

and typed conversations,

dipping into the vast vocabulary

waiting patiently to be shared

between our hearts

 

Might we…

love

Might we…
whisper meandering thoughts
of great importance on the wind,
wishing them a safe journey...

You used a favorite word - meandering. :)

I love the way this piece speaks of seemingly mundane actions, yet they are wrapped in the love of the poet, and so are not mundane at all...

Might we pass... stand... whisper... find... dream... live... love? We shall, and life will be complete. Beautiful work, Jack!

Wow, thank you so very much Traci. I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving such kind words for me. As far as the "Jack the romance writer", thing, I think some people just get a little carried away with that, there are many great poets on this site that I do not even come close to, but I do appreciate that some feel that way about me. Thank you again, so very much.

Always a pleasure to read your work, Jack. As far as the "Romance Writer" thing....I think every writer on this site brings something special and unique, and I don't compare one to another. From
what I've seen and read, you are a very talented, respected poet and friend to many, that speaks volumes in itself.
