A Thought Left All Alone...

What do I
See
When I look
At Me?

Distortion…
A wicked version
Of Myself-

Some other
Me
I used to
Be.

What do I
Dream
When I dare
To see?

A life
That belongs
To me.

Tangled and
Wrinkled
And unresolved…

A thought left
All alone…

Ever After

It may have been a look

Or a smile,

Or a conversation--

It may have been a special

Touch

Or a kiss,

Or meeting of our

Minds.



It may have been a

Past life

Connection,

A real life

Reflection--

The Universe

Conspires…



Or perhaps it’s

Chance…

A random

Meeting,

A roll of the

Die.



Whatever it is,

It brought me to you

Found its way

To the

Sun.



Like a flower

With a will to

Live…

With all it’s hope

Of an

Ever after.

Tomorrow

Painting by Edward Hopper

You can dream

All you want

But what makes

It so?

It’s not the

Wishing or

Hoping…

But the

Yearning and

Knowing –

It’s not late

Nights of

Regret

It’s the

Sun of the

Morning.


It’s the piece

Of you –

The piece

That is

Lost

The one you

Know is there-

Somewhere.

It’s the you

You need

To be.


And when

You are not,

Faith is gone -

Just a word

That means

Nothing.


But it is

Something

You know it is…

You don’t need

To see it.


It’s your life

Your thought

Your reality…

It is what

Is meant

To be.



To hold it

Close

To hold it

Tight

Even through

The doubt.


To pack up

Your worries

And sleep

Tonight

And know

What comes

Tomorrow.
