hope is eternally renewable
---------------------------
blankly,
i wake from this cycle of dreams
that swallowed hours of
mid morning solitude
the repetative reliving of
moments in time
when i lessened my value
in those eyes
who's sparkling, dancing wit
ever stay distant
the clanging and clamouring,
carrys a message to my ears:
the cancellation of planned events.
future once more cleared
but that feels smothering
not free
like it should.
so,
with whisps of worry
trailing from the extremities of my heart
and with maintenance ignored
i move forward to find
a comfortable and familiar
situation
to wash away these remnants
hoping,
for the clarity of focus
that emphemeral point where
expression occurs
i order coffee in this cafe
but as i speak those words
a new thread of wonder
is woven through my thoughts
an honest smile
square jaw
and flat blue pools
set gently into place
an unassuming benefaction
and an intuative grace
thank you for waking me
and clearing away my
haze of morning madness
accumulate
the future is no less
fearsome
but for your encounter
it is restricted less
