Funny Thing

just an ordinary day
reaching in my closet for a shirt
found a new one i`d only worn once
pulled it on and kept on moving
standing in front of my mirror
zipper`s up,pants on straight

what`s that on my sleeve?
oh just a hair
but wait, its not too long
but definitely longer than mine
also kind of wispy almost fine

then sunlight struck the shaft
and the memory came flooding back...

the wind from the sunroof lifted it
and i remembered
how beautiful you were

i ran my fingers through it
and said my God it`s thick

that single strand held me in rapt fascination
the color of a precious metal
divided with tawny bands of brown
it fairly sparkled
with golden color bright

and then another emotion grabbed me
and i found myself missing you
funny about the little things isn`t it

***nameless one,
this poem is gorgeous.    
it is full of emotion.
it reminded me of a situation i was in a while ago.
i'll certainly be looking out for more of your work.
fantastic job.

Well done  Funny isn't it, how we can take
one thing out of a dozen and write about just
that.

Now you have me missing Lena...I love to think about my lady friends when I am alone..something they said...the way they looked at me...the soft way they touched me.  James

it's all about the little things!

no doubt, that single hair brought on more emotion than one could ever imagine.
