Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

if I could be me

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

if I could be me

but wiser, softer, kinder

quiescent no more

the arrogance of youth shed

my chrysalis cracked open

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

static possibility

muttering murmurs    

the doors open on the right

light and sound distort

in the moment time stands still

static possibility

train

I ride the train a lot, so my mind went in many directions but the empty seats strongly evoked the ideas of loss and hope–that liminal moment of unknown. Thanks for the inspiration to Reena’s Xploration Challenge
