Just a long poem

A heavy calendar
no longer works
for me, it’s but a mere
reminder
of all the people I
have to see
and trips
I’ve
not yet
taken.​

It would be nice
to take a trip
sometime
I must
imagine.​

Imagine how
I so desire a journey
with eager hungry wit,
[SIZE=3]but all[/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]my senses[/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]famished.[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT]​

[FONT=Centaur]



[CENTER][FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]The carefulness [/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]of instantaneous [/SIZE]

[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]nothing more [/SIZE]

[CENTER][FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]A walk amidst the[/SIZE]

[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]Malibu, [/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]a beach so [/SIZE]

[CENTER][FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]And oh what treasures[/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]one can find [/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]taking a walk through tranquil[/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]peril[/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]among the shells[/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]that lie there[/SIZE]

[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]and again [/SIZE]
[FONT=Centaur][SIZE=3]a long way to[/SIZE]

Pem -all that you imagine is yours, you created it -I'd write a poem based on your beautiful comment, but unfortunately I must go -- look for it later though..

Have a great day!

 

The memories that fill a mind greedy for life.

Very good lines. April Rain

A thousand thanks for sharing.
