In my Perhaps

It is in the soft light
of tiffany lamp
meditation meets quiet,
reflection greets wisdom,
in my perhaps,
lies hope.

In my perhaps,
are many opportunities
as so many more possibilities
lie within,
many more so than just
maybe,

or even,
we’ll see.

A soft promise that
indicates kismet is just
around the corner,
where serenity awaits,
perchance it be today,
or in whim
of tomorrow’s fancy.

Perhaps seems more a pledge,
awaiting blood’s ties
to thoughtful reverence.

Perhaps
is akin to a slip stream
of expect,
awaiting with trust
that wishes shall be
fulfilled.

In my Perhaps
rests the underlying encouragement
that all things shall be
as ever was

and

if asked what aura
surrounds my perhaps,

trust me…

it is orb-hued green.

I see a twinkle in the eye of your "perhaps"

very nice exploration of the possibilities of "perhaps"

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I love it when you explore all possibilities of a simple word made marvelous through your own. Perhaps....yep..I love that word.

Sincerely,
Reg

Okay Karilea...stop it with the goosebumps now okay?
Perhaps...what a beautiful word...
perhaps as lovely as kismet, or serenity.

Perhaps has never been more a word of encouragement as it is here.

It gives me hope.

I enjoyed your thoughts.  I love the word "kismet"

You poetry shows maturity of style.You were very good at putting light ideas, into a tangeable form.No slight of hand, i call it slight of mind.

Karilea

Your perhaps is lovely thoughts all wrapped up in word lace and tied with velvet ribbon...and even though I can't see it, I know it is beautiful, and green.

Wow!!! Oh Karilea, this is just wonderful, I LOVE IT, and I know that inevitably perhaps is you and I can see much more promises bound to come true before your very eyes as amends shall be made! (sigh) This is wonderfully written, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Perhaps..
Upon the dawn
the light of day
the moment of
two hearts sway

Perhaps..
Into the night
as forest still
filters the moon
of wishes will..

Perhaps..
from moments of
two hearts in beat
where once is found
a love complete..

I know this feeling!

"In my perhaps,
are many opportunities
as so many more possibilities
lie within,
many more so than just
maybe,"

I haven't been around for a while and this is the first time I've seen the accompanying picture....even more attractive than I envisioned!

Well, that's my compliment for the day and I wanted to make sure it didn't get wasted!

Karilea, I am so glad that I wandered into Pip to-day to finish my cup of tea. I needed to read a poem such as this. Wouldn't you know it....it was written by you!!! Thankyou for this wonderful piece that is going directly into my library. hugs, Chris

An aberrant thought popped into my brain when I first saw the title... and I had to shake it before I could truly appreciate your poem. *G* Just think of Ron's soon ... you'll see what I mean. LOL

This is beautiful, Sunshine... I like the gentle promise of your perhaps very much. *S*

Karilea-
Do I love this?  Perhaps.
Okay...no perhaps about it...I LOVE IT!
Your perhaps is making me smile tonight.
Thank you for that.

this is darling-

I am also a big user of the word perhaps,
so I appreciate your musing of it.
