Things we Forget |

Leaving the cottage…made me late Seeking promised kisses, searching for the epic verse “What indeed has been offered me” A kind smile exhales two together Contrasting various elements closely in concert Clear meaning of sweet voice I need only thoughts from this life That’s all….. With one word of truth And the beautiful day from beginning to end Where long ships gather with no knowledge of death Just the heat of Africa upon their lips With their sails of wings and conscious translations But soon the rains begin and Anywhere is a memory of trees Hope has a place where God blesses me Are you the autumn of my life? Where I have been an echo…for my children to follow Living within a dreamers light and a forest of picnic tables Of early evening….outside time Where a will comes humanly close There a power source sheds light like a skin And for some reason a discussion begins Brushing my fingers…I see the real me in tears Running down an alley, falling to my knees Grasping for breath…words…anything viable and real Just because I can’t remember the alphabet I’m pretty sure life flowed through my veins Where Kodak features became a mouth of colors All pastels, painting happy noise from a waterfront And all the intimacy growing as if pregnant Ice cream dripping from a rock of children’s thoughts Anyone have a flashlight…cause all the stars and fire flies went home As they remember being alive….something we forget |

I'm sending it back for another round. Hugs Ethel |
