Between the Lines

I scent the vanilla
to bathe in yesterday,
a coating of softness borrowed
for a "theme of love".

I heard the pillow talk
as if you were there, leaning back
trying not to smile up at me.

My breaths uneven as my world
lost its gray and I began to play
your colorful tune.

I lay among the thoughts,
among the words,
always wrestling to correct the weave,
those pulls that sometimes catch me
unexpectedly.

I am in a feeling place,
taking hopeful strides,
(can't anyone see?)
giving my attention to reality,
enduring those sleepless nights
waiting for time's release
and the tasting
of all things good.

My blinds are closed to the fears
of tomorrow as I stretch on this day,
showering myself in tranquility,
allowing my feet...
to touch the ground.

... soft

   ... yet grounded.


  I like this feeling place but
     the blinds dont always hide.

Beautiful poem you've written here, Maureen.
I really enjoyed reading.
