Home

hidden within a pantomime mirage

by Shonda Creemer

some mornings I wonder
why I even bother
getting out of bed

steadily seeking for
an answer ~ note I did
not say "the" ~ to
that all encompassing
question

{you know the one}

and like a bright yellow
smiley face mocking
my existence

it teases only of emotions
it knows I do not possess

my disposition never changes
the colors stay the same
day turns into night

and in those waking moments
between life and dream

my resolution can be found

...shon, gal, gal...now, i read this three times and each time sloooowwwwer...i, really see some beauty in expression here...and the last one you wrote set a high bar, and i swear this one reaches it...there's existential warmth for the universe in this, dig it: the last five lines are sorta "summing up" and then the last one...i see your "resolution" as--write these beautiful words that you do and 'spress yo'self 'cause you do delightful job of it my friend...love this one, heavy duty serious but loving...peace, chaz
