Poem Title:
Poem
The clouds drift and sail overhead As if there's never been such a thing as rough waters The sun shines in a way that seems timeless As if it has no where it needs to be No looming commitments. No obligatory destination No schedule to keep No clock counting down nor up Eternity could be now, never. It just doesn't matter The wind whispers like a ghost It's heard, so faintly, I question it's existence It's not seen. It's not felt. Not at first I close my eyes. I'm searching I know it's coming There it is, nudging me, a gentle push As if the entire universe is saying wait... Now Eyes opening, I'm transported To this familiar place, time, feeling I'm not sure which. All of the above I suppose I'm there. Lying on my back atop a hay bale Sitting barefoot, legs swinging off the dock Perched on a branch in an old tree Standing on the fence gazing over the hills A little front porch sitting rocking in a chair A bird's eye view from the roof top I'm there. Proving once again it can be anywhere It's everywhere Flooded with memories The kind that make you smile as a tear rolls away from you The kind that take their time, linger as you soak them in And it's there, in that moment With the clouds floating, the sun shinning, the wind humming That you know peace Just like you know a loved one gone too soon Like you know yourself once again Realizing neither are lost forever Smiling, knowing everything you know Having gone through everything you've gone through It doesn't matter, that place is still there And you just breathe it in Capturing every flicker of beauty in front of you Within you Filing it away in hopes that it carries you through Until next time
