Wouldn'T It Be Nice If the Words We Write
Wouldn't it be nice if the words we write
could be sent without electrical means
or anything else that sits on a shelf
like the pencils and paper we need?
Imagine a place where all our thoughts race
direct from our minds in thin air
from one's inner being the ideas we're seeing
In less than an instant, right there.
To neighbors and friends and those whom we spend
most of our time worth sharing,
giving and taking, creating and making
ideas that convey love and caring.
A "Poetry Express" might lead to success
of all our good wishes well sent
to just the right places and only those faces
who understand our deepest intent.
Like riders before on the old desert floor
carrying a bag full of mind-made treasures
eventually received by those who believed
in the power of something unmeasured.
Wouldn't it be nice if the words we write
could be sent without gadgets required
except for the means to tap into our dreams
and read every word desired?
As a poet of course, I've no other choice
but to wish for such unattainable ideas
while hoping for the best and giving thanks for the rest
and the direction in which to steer.
