the muse

I often wonder
what’s whirling ~ twirling
around
and around
within your
beautiful mind
much like
the swirly
curly patterns
that form
in the water
of a creek
as it gently flows
beneath and beyond
a little wooden bridge
surrounded
by vegetation
with subtle hues
of color  ~

‘cause of all this…..

you’re the muse
for what’s
whirling ~ twirling
around
and around
within my mind
as the aspects
of reality
become
poetic metaphors
to illustrate
what I see and feel
through the lens
of
my
Smartphone
camera

I often wonder
what’s whirling ~ twirling
around
and around
within your
beautiful mind

you say good morning

each and every day
I talk with you by phone
not like the days gone by
where you stood
in a phone booth  ~  feeding
it with change
from your pocket
to keep
the conversation going
I talk with you freely
without being confined
to one spot
on my smartphone
we yak and yak
about everything
and how I love listening
to your voice
’cause even after
we’ve stopped talking
its sweet rhythm
sustains me
throughout the day
until the phone
rings again
and when I say hello
~  you say good morning
