That Emily, Whenever She May Be Found
Like an avalanche suddenly in motion
a person so real intrudes on your mundane world
only takes one hint of recognition
that the yearning isn't one-sided
Someone who hasn't crafted layers of facades
or been jilted so deeply
that not a speck of romance may ever bloom
barely given light to nature of the dyad
potential more then actual
but a confidence in a comfortable fit
Risk aversion stunts so much progress
that greater crime would be to
live without vibrancy, "le goût pour la vie"
and what is the true cost
that a empty space that may be filled
if not with lasting adoration
then a few warm moments in time
So what is handed to you is free of masquerade
it comes with no jealous bouts of possession
far from perfect but basking in the warmth
of the recognition
Sympathetic in knowing a road has many detours
Prescriptive as to stimulus and effect
Devoted in a joy that can't be qualified in monetary units
(Titled adapted from Simon and Garfunkel's "For Emily Whenever I May Find Her')

Hope you find that one. So hard to find trust and openness anymore.

Thanks, made a few mistakes in terms of word choice but I think I caught them. Sometimes one must just enjoy the adventure even if that one isn't found.

That is something that I was pondering because it seemed like something written by someone else way before our time. I finally found the source but it was worded in a different manner. I totally admit nothing I come up with is original.

Thanks, I guess partially because of the anniversary of the March on Washington, I am thinking about the sounds that accompanied that time period, thus Simon and Garfunkel.

Bro I can't get much past you. I must admit that recently I have bypassed reading the words of other commentators when commenting on other people's work. You have more patience then me, at least at this moment in time.
Thanks for spending a moment with my words.

Yes...I too have stayed away from doing this (for the most part) I like to give my true feeling of the read without influenced thought...but sometimes...certain comments tick out when scrolling down--The moments are savored on Your pages Sir-Thoughts and feelings of a fine Poet and friend!!!

Thanks but in all candor I can't say the different ways are intentional. Just kind go where the thoughts take me.
