What Could Be

What Could Be

As I look into your eyes
I can see visions
What Was 
What Is
What Could Be

As I close my eyes
I am beleaguered by thoughts
What Was 
What Is 
What Could Be

As I go to say more of the same
I know all has been spoken
What Was
What Is
What Could Be

As you release my hand for the last time
All at once I feel all
What Was 
What Is 
What Could Be

As you turn and walk away
I know I will regret that
What Was 
What Is 
What Could Be

Enjoyed reading your excellent poetry today and hope to be back soon to read more JoAnne. This time of year we all are so busy and I for one don't have a lot of time right now but I will try. I love reading the poetry of the many talented poets here at the Soup. Hope to be reading your poetry for many more years to come. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us and may you always find the inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors whatever they may be. Love, Carol
