William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

Judy, Judy, Judy Thoughts of Thinking I Have To Wonder

Judy, Judy, Judy
Thoughts of – thinking, I have to wonder ?

Time is slowly slipping – empty of – away.
Turning moments, lost – into hours- many a day.

Lost forever – only thoughts of what might be, stay
with this one, who had – once upon a time – only to pray

for all that he desired and desired to see
become part of what he wanted – wanted to be.

A cool wind of enlightenment, blows from a silent mouth.
No warm breeze will I come to know, from the south.

For the barrenness of silence is all that I get to hear
as I wait for a sign, a word, feelings that I fear

are not meant to come my way – for me to be had.
All these thoughts, questions, feelings do make me sad.

I should know better, no fool – they say – like an old fool.

Kp Nunez February 6, 2015 at 10:21 PM My first read of the day, on this lazy Saturday .afternoon, again gives me a glimpse on the ruminations of an old soul. As someone who is in the noontime of life, I am fascinated by what could be the story behind your writes, sire, as this one. Oh but I love the way you string the words...fluidly captivating in their simplicity...fool or not, this piece comes from the pen of someone who has taken hold of my natural curiosity... Again, 7 salutes to you, sire. Kim :D
