Hide and Seek

Mockingly it calls out

Desiring to be pursued

But it is as allusive

As it is with hope imbued

 

Playing emotions like a violin

Making melody from the taught strings

Until the symphony reaches crescendo

Intensifying the mystery that it brings

 

Promising new destinations

Like contrails floating in the sky

As we wonder where they lead to

And what adventure there does lie

 

Until they slowly fade away

Carried off by atmospheric winds

Only to tease you some other day

So that the pursuit never ends

 

As infinite as the gaze skyward travels

With breathtaking experiences to explore

Teasingly it calls to me, “Come Find Me”

Its tone and innuendo to implore
