I Wonder

Written in High School

I wonder what is there
just beyond where my mind can see;
what am I searching for
that streams dreamy colors
through my thoughts
and in my most complacent moments
-play silly games...dodging,
flying through my eyes
while my brain breathes them
over my lips.
If only I could see their light
reflecting back upon me
as they escaped into the world
that lodges my unconscious dreams.

My true desire is to follow their flight
and shyly discover what I am made of...

Makes me want to ask if your questions were answered. A lovely share... the young you just as intriguing as the present you. xomo

Nicely penned poem from so many years ago, Craig. I'm sure we all had these same thoughts in high school, and in the autumn of my time, still I wonder. John
