Away

Mississippi mud between toes
wildflower little girl dreams in mist
strawberry blond head too full
of wonder and it’s past time
cameos and pearls rest in a box
an old fashioned girl’s taste
there they shine in lost grandeur
dressed up with no where to go
much too casual in the elegance
there is no mystery in a world apart
as I talk alone to blank white paper
do even the words in bold black last
should I have taken a second look
when I completely gave my heart
away



“all romantics meet the same fate”…Joni Mitchell

suppose the greatest if in life is the 'what if' once we make a decision to take that road less traveled...you bring that conflict into light in a very special way...excellent write...

"should I have taken a second look

no Helen
never
a heart is for giving away

It's always good to take a second look on occassion...the eyes can play tricks on us...and the heart even more so!!!
