Time passes through our fingertips,
rising and curling between the blinds
in the hours falling with the rain.
I inhale the scent of a wet lawn and
memories collecting on windowpanes,
keeping the image of forever alive in my mind,
knowing of the multitude of moments
that make up a single cloud,
and that my palms will never reach,
but believe in the flowers growing
from the drops that water them,
sprouting a life that I can always tend to.
Hello!! Please go vote for my submission for this poetry contest!
Hello Hello! I know, I am terribly, horribly late in posting the winner for this contest. My only excuse is the business of life!
Congratulations Phillip, with ‘Serenity Now?’
We are all connected. The woman
in line at the grocery store
too tired to say no to one more question.
The young man scanning the Skittles
his arm a pendulum absentmindedly marking
time. And me at attention
with the world while my phone
shows zero bars and I long to march on.
We all crave serenity. The woman
thinking of a euphoric cacophony of silence
that a mouthful of candy may bring.
The young man clocked out and finding
ecstasy absent the din of beeps, glorying
in his moment. And me raptured
from this world and returned home
where my wifi vigorously absolves me.
