Close To You

A daydream that lasts awhile..
Reality that seems a mile..
Tree tops that move with ease..
A smile faded with a breeze..
Miracles you see in movies..
A fairy tale so far from me..
So many doors that close so fast..
When will I know if this love will last..
Long walks that clear my head...
A memory of things we said...
Walking a tightrope of pain and sorrow..
Where just a stone's throw from that glow...

Your mindset at the time while writing this one is quite clear MJF.. I miss those days when my poetry had that raw emotion. The fear of opening myself up in my poetry I keep to myself, got a whole file called poems not posted lol :) love Wilma
