Beautiful but circuitous
I remain estranged
Salutations that never
Extend invitation
Lips too buoyant
To indulge profundity
*
There is loneliness
In the sustainment of doubt
There is loneliness
In a sealed heart that grows
Emptier with the passage of time
*
To possess a tongue without guile
A betrayal to both barer and expectancy
There is freedom in awkwardness
In the way it forbids assimilation
*
I am not an actress and no stage
No matter how obliquitous
Could detain me
This week’s prompt is sheer wonder. Immediately I think of childhood the first time you look through a telescope, your first visit to an aquarium, waking up on Christmas morning, ball games etc. Of course adults can experience such moments as well riding in a hot air balloon, reaching the summit after a long hike, visiting a foreign land, viewing a meteor shower, riding in a helicopter, scuba diving the list is endless. Moments of sheer wonder don’t have to coincide with major events, looking at the ocean, taking a walk, reading about a new technology, listening to a TED talk we can experience these extraordinary moments in our ordinary lives as well!
