Perhaps

~ Perhaps…it is the light, reflecting in symphonic visions from dampened roadways, serenading my heart in melodies of whispered thoughts, painting lyrical lilacs on a gray canvas with fraying edges even as clouds connect the sun, I sit alone, on a worn leather seat, fingers tapping the steering wheel in rhythm with the endless miles connecting my cultivated dreams with pictured fantasies that may prove to be just that… fantasies yet I look, optimistic eyes perusing spring fed corn row wishes and sunflower sonatas, which my heart faces with fevered emotion and anticipation of each new coming day… (constantly aware of roadblocks set up along the shoulders of your heart) Distractions come as an eclipse darkens the sky or is it my heavy eyelids causing the detour, yet my soul is alert to the possibilities of what might be waiting behind that locked door where silence allows me to hear your words… written in the wee hours of the morning an invitation to share this morning with one who matters, one who touches me, one who feeds me with a simple hello and a cup of coffee or something more…fantasies become realities…perhaps

I feel as if I was traveling in the passengers seat. Perhaps is one of my favorite words for future focus. (I teach cognitive behavioral therapy). When we find ourselves thinking /predicting the future...gentle say, perhaps. Great work!

It is one of my favorite words as well, much better than maybe. :) Thank you Kelly for your kind thoughts.

I love how the music, painting and feelings all flow into this poem. I hope your perhaps will come through as comforting as you write it. :)

A beautiful piece of writing here, where "a simple hello and a cup of coffee" never sounded more poetic...

This is stellar Chris. I could see you there tapping that steering wheel with the roadblocks in your way. Enjoying that coffee over thoughts, the poetry touching you as this touches the reader with the same strokes of emotion and beauty ... great penning my friend :) hugs

Thank you Sandy so very much. I am happy you enjoyed this ride along with me today, even with the roadblocks and detours. At least there were no school buses. : ) I appreciate you always my friend.
