The Thought

As I look out upon the sun setting cast over the water
I feel a cool breeze rush across my skin,
As I stare at the reflection of nature in the dark lake
A thought comes to me, it sends chills down my body
It is so warm and comforting yet so distant
A soft voice and an innocent laugh plays aloud in my head
The thought intensifies, so confusing and scarry yet so clear and soothing,
Images flash, sounds play, thoughts collide inside my head
It feels as a dream running wild in the night
But in time the realization comes-----
It is was the thought of you.

Did you really intend it to be 'scarry'? You've got a strong build up here (I definitely wanted to finish the poem) but I think you can do more with contradiction than simply state them and, honest, I don't think you were thinking about me.  

It's a tough call, always, when you use that second person, especially in poems like this one but it just didn't quite cut it for me. wonder what others think.

Keep writing,
Brad
