To expect I fear nothing less than disappointment gathering my hands neatly so each finger touches point to point correcting misjudgments with single words while listening to the silky voice of Nina Simone crying in song behind the dresser are petals from flowers overworked from beauty dusty books lay blindly hinting of secrets once heard begging silently for a voice that has left me without ambition naked and mundane craving the gifts I once had to expect if you knew me you would see below a given name lays a middle which is a word that has expectation’s definition perfectly positioned underneath each letter sitting with my honesty lifting excuses from my brow hesitating for each possible second guaranteeing the time is right to expect to Hope |

what really struck me was "dusty books lay blindly" seeking a voice...a metaphor for what you feel like quieted hopes and dreams? Fortunately, unlikes books, we can pick ourselves up and shake off the dust! I enjoyed this write... it was well-written. ~ Karen ~ |

Thank you Karen. I am glad you enjoyed it. I had almost forgot about this write until you commented on it. Feel free to remind me of others I have written.  |
