Retired my heart for the moment,
A plane flies by and a cry of a babe wales out,
There’s a buzzing and a scent of nature about and thoughts of old dreams cough up,
“What ifs” and “What could bes” keep nagging along in my thoughts,
But it’s just wasted time, like a horn that no one pays attention to,
Just tone deaf to the show tonight…
Keep them from me as music keeps me strong,
For now at least, I’m ok for the moment,
And yes that horn keeps blowing oh so loudly,
Just waiting for one to pay attention,but too many are self consumed,
Too wrapped up in their own stories, their own regrets and worries,
I sip my tea and wonder of the chaos that’s encapsulating a neighbor…
Lost in my thoughts of you and I and what is,
A grumbling engine bellows loudly and closure somehow feels even further away,
Simultaneously wanting you here and gone forever from my being,
A cruel trick of love, a cruelness too real to not project in my works,
So I sip on and the world falls away for the moment, as this retired heart hangs on,
Onto a hope, a wish, and my memories to keep me going for now….
“Simultaneously wanting you here and gone forever from my being,
A cruel trick of love, a cruelness too real to not project in my works,”
I feel this, it’s very torturous to be caught in this dilemma. Our mind judges but
our heart overlooks and desires. Great penning!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that and you always taking time to read and comment, I hope you’re having a great week so far!
