Passing time in the hallway
The last of twilight
Lantern lights catch the darkness
Like unfocused eyes blinking
To accommodate the night
Aquatic gentle currents of air
Drip off the eves of a tropical wind
Sailing across the minds of endless coral reefs
With great tenderness & care
Painting an out blow of colorful breaths, loving
Swooning admirations & accomplishments….

I fall to despair riding shotgun
With all unfinished things
Wondering “where is that store of valuables
Have I lost it”?
There may never come…a tomorrow
Realizing, I and I alone,
OWN
Every single one
Of my choices

I'd better get crakin, cause there's much to do!

Yes you are and yes you do. A super poem.
Good morning sweet.

There are moments when speech
is but a mouth pressed lightly and
humbly against the angel's hands.

"like unfocussed eyes blinking
to accomodate the night"
The juxtaposition between the two stanza's are amazing in this piece.  The first, so timid and shy and then the second...
"I, and I alone"  so powerful and confident.

A wonderful read!!

Well I had better get cracking too.  This piece made me realise that I'm procrasinating and I need to get into gear..

..well maybe just one more cup of tea won't harm..
