why does this happen?

you turn to find the answer
but the opera does not sing to you
and the ferry does not blow its horn
and the cats?
sail on by

you search within her sails

O but how her precious lids
conceal them
and you  do not know
if the tree-tops will catch you

there in the background
in reflection


drove me like a magnet
to the sea

"why does this happen?

It seems to me that the answer may be, that it is not the answer that is as important, as the search.  What do you think?  

I do love it when you reflect.

WOW Maree....your thoughts and words are amazing....

I keep a fragrance bottle my
muse gave me when I met him
in endless winter and he
settled me into remembering
who I am.

I enjoyed reading this... I thought at times one has to search outside of sails, not within.

kind of like blind faith . . .
freefalling . . .
going for broke . . .

the search can only begin from within
or else it is entirely futile.

Beautiful Maree

the only true song
is the aria
one sings helpless
to stop

the only trees
are those we grow
in the soil
of forever

a cornered mirror
is all we have
to share
no matter where we
stand it shows only
our own faces

and how can
these things not
be enough

or do we give up
I mean give in

Love these opening lines, and the whole thought.

Always brilliant, you are Maree. xx
