Today’s guest poet — Jann Howell
Always Wondering
I’m always wondering
… where you are
… what you’re doing
… are you thinking of me?
… do we dream the same dreams?
… if we feel the same things
in our hearts.
But every time
I try to speak the words…
when I try to ask the questions
just to get the answers,
a fear takes hold of my heart
that the words that you’ll speak
won’t be the words that I seek
keeps me paralyzed.
And the silence between us
stretches further than the stars
so that I am always,
always wondering
where you are.

Quote of the day: “Give all to love; obey thy heart.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Daily gratitudes:
The one man who offered his seat to me on the bus
Thunderstorm
The living room carpet
Creative spasms in half-waking moments
That today… is.
