Endless Beginnings
by Jodie Hare, Regular Contributor
The one that stopped halfway
Coming back moving closer
Feelings on acid dissolve on the top of my tongue, dancing
Hand in hand hand on back
Let’s move slow against the music
Let the feelings dig down like a well that fills all the way to the top drip drop
Turn towards one another like sunflowers who can’t find the sun
Time has melted and Dalí is pissed
No period of time too short or too long
There is only now, or perhaps then
I’ll remain here all the same
Pages turning and turning and stop, because there you are in a place I didn’t expect to find you
Sitting amidst the rainbow in your amber hue
I deal only in feelings my tender is tender
I think you are hiding but hiding that you are hiding a double disguise
Facades crumble and I will catch the falling shards and put them in my pocket
Once a day on every one of the days
I will slip a kind word under your pillow
Hoping that your day is as wonderful as you
Filling up the empty space and asking gracefully if I wouldn’t mind reaching down inside myself and producing something for show and tell
Opening the door to a room I have been begging to air out waiting on a princess charming no less
I have held the most beautiful thing in the world a privilege not easy to forget
have you forgotten?
Do you think the birds start each day pondering their desire? Asking if it’s right if it’s deserved if it’s the correct want?
No they open their eyes and make their calls and let their wings decide where today will take them. let’s spread ours too
