" PERHAPS" ~ (Mornings Daydream )

" PERHAPS" ~ (Mornings Daydream )

The faceless me, in the mirror
Circling the possibilities.
Perhaps, an elderly brow
To fill the void in my sensibilities
Where laughter, no longer exists
And the steady blankness somehow
Stares, straight through my nothingness.....

Perhaps, a crooked nose
Stemming from a broken past
And battles that were lost to me.
A featureless soul not built to last
But, the magnetic movement
In empty eyes
Smiles,
And shocks me,
Back into
A glorious
Morning.............Perhaps!!

Tony Taylor    (Chicago)

I love the ending. At first I thought it was really dark but then it took a turn...at least that is my take on it. As always I am a huge fan of your writing and now this poem has me thinking! Nice write :)

Daydreaming is such a curious state to be in ! Here but not aware of the environment as you would normally be ! When I emerge from this state I often feel refreshed and my mood may change (for the better generally !).

Your writes are interesting !!! Love this !

Best wishes !
