Canteloupe sky
behind a palm tree
jostles my eyes
awake. The remnant
of last night's disappointment
shrinks as the sun
peeks from behind
the fronds. A new day
winks. My eyes fill
with possibilities,
again. The fragrance
of hope is a sunrise.
It's just too bright.
I close my eyes,
wait for you to wake up.
I become less and less.
The sun can cause worry..too much pressure..maybe today won't be good enough..'I' won't be good enough..yet there's always a chance it will be ok..the day may wink at us teasingly but it will always carry us through to glorious bed time..Jae
ReplyDeleteThere's a glimmer of hope, but the thought of more sleep is more reassuring, this takes me back into my subconscious.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this poem very much. I like this line
ReplyDelete" The fragrance
of hope is a sunrise"
The thought before the sun gets to bright and doubts sneak in. Thank you.
I will echo Ellecee, my favorite line as well.
ReplyDeleteah how sad that she becomes less,
ReplyDeletethe fragrance of hope is sunrise -
ReplyDeleteso true. lovely.
The sadness of a failing relationship is gradually revealed in the words as she wakes up to the day and that realization. A beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteI adored the forward, upward momentum of this piece, until that last line! You stunned me!
ReplyDeleteI love it but that last line just doesn't go well with the rest of the poem...
ReplyDeleteA lovely word picture, a good use of your three words.
