POEM #10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HAVE YOU EVER SET SAIL ON SUMMER RAIN?
WELL I HAVE
AND I BROUGHT ALONG MY JOURNAL
AND A NET TO CATCH THE THOUGHTS THAT ESCAPE MY PEN
SO I COULD COLLECTIVELY GET MYSELF IN LINE
FOR WHEN I HAD TO TELL YOU MY TRUE FEELINGS
AND LIKE THE SEASONS
A CHANGE OCCURRED
I LEAPED FROM MY JUNK BOAT OF DREAMS
AND DECIDED TO FLOAT ACROSS THE LEAVES AS THEY CHANGED COLOR
AND WHILE STILL WRITING
I INHALED THE CRISP AIR AND THE SNOWFLAKES DANCED AROUND ME
AND PLANTED THE SEEDS OF WILDFLOWERS ALONG THE RIVERBANK
SO I CLOSED MY EYES AND IMITATED BEETHOVEN
HEARING WITHOUT THE KEEN SENSE OF HEARING
BUT RATHER WRITING A MASTERPIECE WITH MY HEART
THAT EVEN MY THOUGHTS COULDN'T COMPREHEND
IN MY JOURNAL ARE THE PERFECT PHRASES
BUT I WONDER WHAT THEY ARE REALLY SAYING IN MY UNCONSCIOUS
SO LIKE A DARING SOUL I DECIDED EXPLORE
AND FOUND THE TRUTH BEHIND MY FEELINGS
AND IN MY MOMENT OF A FREUDIAN SLIP
MY TRUE FEELINGS ESCAPED ME
AND MY NET WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
DARN
AND THERE YOU WERE ACROSS FROM ME IN MY BOAT
AND RECEIVED EVERY WORD WITH A SILENT SMILE
PLANTING A KISS ON MY FOREHEAD
GRACING MY HAND WITH A NOTE OF THANKS
FOR MY HEART WRITING YOUR EXISTENCE IN THIS TIME
TO SHARE WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT
YOU'RE WELCOME
