They roam around me
as smallish clouds,

descend
like icy fluffs.

The glistening dolphins
leap out of my yesteryears,

plunge into tomorrow.

Watchful ducklings
trotting by, question
�Can�t you walk along ?�

I tell them,� my aching knees
won�t be keeping pace with you.�

They yodel. Disappear.

Groups of fireflies enter
my unlit room

(like) cologne of untimely Spring,

flashing now and then

here and there

They whisper,
�Life moves. Lights move.

Shifts obscurity�

The imagery is exquisite, and brought to life so many layers! I really liked this... Watchful ducklings trotting by, question �Can�t you walk along ?� Life seems to be like that quite often! Delightful write! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
