Distant Thoughts

 Something stirred in the mind

Across the Cosmos

A wisp of melancholy

Rose from the mind

And drifted away

Aimlessly

Leaving behind a brightness

And a hope.

Yesterday’s mistakes-

Half dreams and hopes-

Well in anticipation,

Sired by a fond memory

Of something small

Which came together

In a warm reality.

And the thought,

Reaching across the cosmic waves-

Times chasm of minutes

Broken by change and impulse-

Reappeared as a wisp

Of love's breath,

Warm with new hope

And expectation.
