Smoke Signals

tonight
my breath
trailing
in this air
rises amidst darkness
like little smoke signals
sending out an s.o.s.
i look up
towards
starless skies
wondering
if you were able
would you 
send one
back

Such beautiful sadness... Lingering unknowns... Wrapping...slowly... around ones heart... Like tenacious vines... Questions unanswered... never depart... Pleading with fate... In hope one waits...To hear a favorable answer...

Ah, quite nice! If the connection comes from a caring place, I think the answer would have to be yes! Loved this :) hugs
