While I lay thinking

Last night. Just the way my mind sort of drifts sometimes; probably not the most riveting thing, but hey … it’s my diary and my drifting mind, so why not?

A continuum was what I sought
always moving toward a certain place
inexorable not merely a word I liked
but true as a heart beating
oh there was happiness and
how I hoped to make it easier

Following this thread
I see changes all around
not so long a time
it went so fast while
we drank in every moment
and the planet continued
sustaining all its ordained cycles

Once I thought I knew so much
when I knew nothing
hushed and humbled in the light of
so much more
I look and listen
hear me silent against a dawn
for it opens itself to my exploration

Poorer than a sandwich
rich as someone’s once upon a queen
confusion twists through rough waters
the heat sings its own song of danger
lusty melody and risky words
dance on toward your happiness

Wishes and daydreams
instructions to follow
I will venture forth but
return to bask in the light of my soul
simple pleasures of destiny
always a strange one
without answers

I am sensing you are at one place and wish to be at another in some important aspect of your life. How wrong am I? (I love your poetry…but do not ask me to translate it!)
