Alone in a Fish Bowl


In my world
I am swimming still
drifting, dreaming
I can't get my fill.

The whole earth surrounds me
with oceans far and wide.
I smile in constant wonder
at the spaces I can glide.

Just waft around the corner
and whistle round the bend
as I take a step to you my friend
it seems it will never end.

The beauty, it surrounds me
in colours orange, green and gold
my only wish is for you my love
to be here with a hand to hold.

This poem  is inspired by Magpie Tales and I think I might throw in a link to Thursday Poet Rally as well. Happy Thursday.

  8. Dear Kkringe: I love your sense of wonder
    and beauty in your poem. In particular you made me cry when I read the last line;

    "my only wish is for you my love
    to be here with a hand to hold."

    You sound like an authentic and self-actuated person. Your poems certainly reflect this sense of being. Namaste!

  13. I am pleased as punch to have so many visitors come by and admire my little piece. Thank you all for your delightful comments. Tumbleweeds, I would be thrilled to have a hand to hold, but for right now it is just memories. Joanny, it always seems ironic that those who want more romance get nada and those that don't care are heaped in flowers. All else fails, buy your own roses. Chiccoreal,I am touched by your kind words. thank you.
