"Another Today..."

I wandered Emma Joy Green’s “Words”.

 

(http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/emjoy/1955272/)

 

She asked we respond with our own instead of reviewing hers.  So…

 

“Another Today…”

 

Lavender and honeysuckle

…entwine…

arms enfolding dreams -

held close and tight

as the mind awakens to "nows".

 

Deep breath -

deep, deep …breath

tasting…tasting…the senses

reaching…reaching

past tomorrows

through all the yesterdays

‘til

…a softly whispered "Good Morning…"

echoes out to cross the world.

 

The eyes still glisten

still smile -

remember…

as feet touch the floor

…sunrise awaits, as it always has -

always will

…await

and coffee's need is deep

and earned.

 

Windows beckon

…"looking-through" -

into the glass of the world -

and touching the tears of due

silently slipping down, down

and down…inside

and sometimes outside too.

 

Coffee mist rising to transparency,

ears remembering silence -

mind reliving its echoes

…fingertips…bleeding.

 

Life continues…

 

Author's Note

feel free - and "due" is not a typo.

It was exactly what EJG asked for... and thank you for pausing.

[Levi Levin]

A very creative piece. The words are splendid indeed. Great job with this piece of precision poetry!!!

[Chris]

Each of us has our own way of speaking our mind... nice of you to pause.

[Levi Levin]

No problem at all.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Beauty of new beginnings and fresh start, continuing of that that was ended yet not finished- Beauty - if only time didn’t have to move on , the silence awakes new thoughts, the world takes shape- beautiful words of a new day - may it be just as good as in the words you have written, really enjoyed it🌹

[Chris]

The news was speaking of snow... and I wondered if THAT brought your "Frozen Tears"... I'm glad you paused here. Come by anytime.

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Yes I was out walking and I looked and watched and saw how tears were falling trying to get mans attention of deeper things🌹

[Chris]

Am nodding softly to that... such thoughts do pause a person...

Chris, I really enjoyed this poem. It is filled with so much imagery, I always had a picture in my mind, with every line I read.

´a softly whispered "Good Morning…"

echoes out to cross the world.´

This is where I had this huge picture, of the sun rising, and towns people quietly telling each other good morning.

Beautifully written. I look forward to reading more of your work!.

[Chris]

and "Good Morning to you as well..."

[Stephany]

Reverence combined with moments reflected in a day, or days or the days not yet to come our way. These moments are everything and yet nothing of what is today

[Wendy Seames Garner]

So life continues, but the memories don't fade.

[Saruwa]

Absolutely beautiful. Rhythmic words in sound and in meaning that bring images to mind of the everyday, the today’s. THe meaningful todays.

[George Coombs]

I liked this Chris, lovelt thought provoking imagery and a sense of really being in the present moment, I especially liked the first verse and the idea of the mind awakening to "nows" great writing
