what is time without a watchful eye,
til color fades, we mustn’t
gray tones allow hope
say it is so, dear one.
how is it my hands feel the road and its bumps,
while tires roll atop –
proof we’ve been here before
and what a journey it was.
clouds become pillows,
for murmurs under the sheets,
and the rain in the distance
a melody I remember and
cherish, please believe.
today is full of beauty, I smirk
yet again.
passionate in the ordinary I shall remain,
and glimpses of tomorrows
shall nudge me forward,
across the plains.

Our desires hint at our sense of significance. Our hunger for significance signals who we are and why we are here. God designed. It’s listed in things I learned by accident. However, your poetry expresses it more beautifully, Audrey Dawn.

A perfect read for today ~ “passionate in the ordinary I shall remain, and glimpses of tomorrows shall nudge me forward, across the plains.” Your gift in being able to make such music with words, Aud, is something special 🙂 Hope you had a nice Easter.

This is beautiful, Audrey, and I love these lines:
“clouds become pillows,
for murmurs under the sheets,
and the rain in the distance
a melody I remember and
cherish, please believe.”
There is always hope in our tomorrows, but let’s enjoy the journey.
Happy Easter, my friend 💕🌷

Honest to a fault, maybe, huh? Dreaming of what I’ve always longed for seems foolish perhaps, but its who I am. Thank you, Dan.
