Anticipating


I have your frequent flyer miles stuffed into our familiarity.
It’s not reality, more to the point, it’s merely congeniality…

As a new home, plastered,
as in:
slathered on the walls of my skull.
Awaiting a final primer and glossy smoothness
to undo the grayish dull.

Anticipation…

A graduation of sorts.  
Moving into winged,
from cocooned.

Anticipation, shivering, blistering thoughts of soon…
Too soon…
And yet, not soon enough.

Are you willing?

Anticipating?

the anticipation of something more then we now know...something very powerful, which is with us all the time...something we've known from birth...yet, with time and deception we forget...but its there, and the anticipation to know it again...is astounding...

love to you JL, this was beautiful

JL  you led me into anticipation. I scrolled down and your words ended too soon for me. I was looking for more, and yet what you had written was just--write...

Hi, JL!

They say that anticipation is half the fun! May the arrival of that which is anticipated always deliver the other half of the fun for you!

Big huggalove,

Thanks so much for your kind comments.
I think I enjoy the replies more than my own posting.
