Daydream

Verses composed, daytime dreams,
Lounging in a languid breeze,
Letter by lazy letter they drop
Into the ether, never to be retrieved.

I sometimes long to feel, no,
I let that feeling go, far off, long ago.
It is all trite now, every thing alright,
As hummingbirds alight on thin branches above.

Why dream of love? It is here,
Swirling down in calls from mourning doves.
Each moment expected, projected,
Reserves a momentary morsel of surprise.

Unable to partake, I gaze, breathe in
Literary inspiration, a passing phrase.
Sacred nature, the supernatural in my veins.
It matters not you died; you are here today.

Wow, exceptional and exquisite. My poetry sounds sophomoric next to yours. Wonderful work Ann.

such a day basking beneath the Coolabah tree watching the river meander....and in the last two lines you realize...it is not a light at the end of the tunnel....it is a train coming at you...loved the mood, waiting on a muse

actually poetry has always been a therapy session of sorts, and as i tell Wordsmiths a great way to see how you have grown or relapsed...a way for the neuropaths to reveal themselves...we have a tendency to do this, i rather enjoy my vitriolic rants of yesteryear when i had the energy

I’ve found myself a-muse(d) of late. Psychologist suggested I return to poetry for inspiration, for behavioral modification. Sigh. She’s right, dammit. But I’ll have you know, I approach this awareness kicking and screaming.
