Odd Lots #4: On Closed Minds...

There are no open discussions

between closed minds.

Just one of my "Odd Lots & Brief Thoughts," stemming from a discussion overheard yesterday.

Wormholes

As night wanes into predawn light,

I dream-slip holes through time and space

where past and present interlace,

and for a moment we retrace

the fervent fire…the sweet desire;

we coalesce in youth's embrace—

till morning rays again erase...

as night wanes into predawn light.

Missing Key

Charleston farmhouse door.

This door was locked so long ago…

  

Can remember when it swung wide…

infused with youthful freedom,

we chased our whims with wild abandon.

Childhood dreams and fancies

are now sealed tight;  unused,

forgotten; hidden from our sight

And I…

I still search for the key.

Hanging

Sometimes the

  woulda

            coulda

                        shouldas

the

     what ifs

            and the maybes

are left to dangle

as sentence awaits

one final punctuation.

Becoming

darkness into light

not death, but transformation

life’s circle complete

Bending light and shadow

elevated to sanguine plateau

closing old for new;

over medial plains, I pass.

Mourn not this loss—

I spread these eager wings,

no longer constrained;

girded in peace, I fly!
