she sits a cobalt mood
blues beckoning
beyond pale thoughts of
~once upon a time~

listen to the beat
blues waterfalling
as brooks babble
yesterday's news

when all your ears want to hear
is tomorrow's price, the dues

how to pay it forward, move ahead

"cleanup aisle two please"
then step around whatever else
fell in the pathway
unexpectedly

today slides away
while night time hovers,
as if a lover awaits
in the wings

so you spread your winged thoughts
soar, try not to look back

he is there,
he is there

a bare two steps away

but oh,
they are such long steps

Kacy,

   I liked all the visuals and sensorial suggestions.  I feel I have known the character in your poem!  

   Wish I could read and respond
as much as I'd like...  

   Take care.
