Someone, Somewhere

Someone, somewhere, swung for me, 
Out of sight, a secret kept; 
And I, in turn, awaited she, 
My feelings gloved, sedated, slept.

Someone, somewhere, rose anew, 
Stirred the ashes, struck the chord; 
And I, with stagger, stumbled too, 
Flipped and corkscrewed overboard. 

Someone, somewhere, grazed the fuse, 
Brushed and blew the dormant hearth; 
And I, restored, adored such news 
That spread a wildfire aftermath.

Someone, somewhere, took my hand, 
Declared and proffered love unbound; 
And I, her captive, understand 
The someone, somewhere, I have found.

I am feeling the urge to go back and read poetry from earlier writing of my favorite poets today and this is the one I opened of yours Tony. I truly enjoyed reading it today and it is one of your best. Love, Carol
