Semiconscious Choice

[justwalt]

Waking before the morning,
the air is cool and calm-
I can hear the voices calling,
with no faces to put then on-

In a dream I saw the ending,
you were there just as before-
time seemed to be unbending,
as the board still showed no score-

Of course, there was no warning,
how could one expect to know?
but the actor was not performing,
for the sake of any show-

Now the stillness is so charming,
fitting the scenery well-
logic is also disarming,
letting amity swell-

As will the sun come rising,
soon too, good spirits ascend-
today the voices aren't surprising,
having lost the need to pretend-

'90-'11

[saw]

the journeys of life, like the cycles of the days, our perceptions "unbending"
to show sides that were previously concealed..............enjoyed it...

Thought provoking poem.

a poem to a friend... Donna. written from
prison in '90 and touched up a bit yesterday.

it was a very weird combination of things, (at the time),
that inspired this one. I don't think I could've explained
it even then... it just came and went in a few moments.

thanks

Walt... you do end-rhyme so well.... some people make it sound so sing-songy, but not you. I enjoyed this piece.

I owe you a return message.

Apologies for the delay.
Real life got in the way.
Don't know what else to say.
Can't write back today.

(But will soon.)

thanks girls... and... I thought this rhyme structure was "traditional", and
being that like the stripped-down basic model car... no power windows, no
anti-lock brakes and no full sized spare tire... thanks
