tuesday

today is another day

i believe jewels

are hidden under golden leaves

underneath door mats

that say welcome please

they are leftover from the stars

where last night

the moon fell

and left a trail

where zinnias break ground

in the fall

and actually bloom

where lost hearts beat

their out of sync rhythm

a heartbreak tale

and yet

we go through life

and ignore it all

the magic

the serendipity

the awareness

our not found soulmate

leaning against the wall

it all

beckons our awe

we put our nose

to the grindstone

and never

ever hit pause

until life gives us a jolt

and asks

is this your all

and that is where life begins

no matter how close to its end

we are the magic

the light that bends

inside a miracle

a haunted

yet exquisite

canvas of whim

our regret will always be

not jumping in

living outside on the rim

always at the window

looking in
