The Wonder of Ponder

the morning looks hot and inviting
through this window glass
yet the icicled sensation along my legs
reveals the truth of the season
what one sees with her own eyes
may not be truth in full disclosure
for when other senses come into play
reality is formulated more fully

not a sound reaches my ear
from the exterior of my abode
giving one cause to believe
all of the world is at rest, but she,
yet should I venture to slide back the door,
what might I hear, a semi’s roar
or children’s voices passing by
on their way to school?

here, in this quiet place
away from the life of activity,
the realm of the busyness of day,
all that reaches me
is the hum from my mini-tower
and the clicking of the keys
beneath my finger tips

away, alone, in solitude
thoughts exude longing,
remembering, questioning-
yet they are questions
that do not take clarity of form
except in an “All about Alfie” realm
how does one seek answers
when the questions are unknown?

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

..."What's it all about, Alfie?..."

Perhaps the questions are not all that important, just enjoy the moment and simply be.

Very poetic pondering
