Bardstown Musing (+1)

A Romantic is always afraid deep inside

expectations will never come true

 

Chasing a mirage that stays beyond reach

waiting and hoping in lieu…

 

A Romantic betroths those lies of the heart

in amorous moments to roam

 

Wooing a dream that’s jilted by sleep

to wander, to wonder—alone

Closing The Circle

 

The end layers over the beginning

in contours of time

Blanketing the middle

in consorts of connection

Rescuing the lost from themselves

—saving the foundling’s parade
