It feels almost as if I have been sketching my life with a graphite pencil lately. Intentions have led me to unravel the evolution of words within me. It feels good to simply write and enjoy the process.
And then
reality hits: the more you write, the more inspiration you find, and then you
write even the more. Inspiration to stand before a crowd and share becomes a thing. The motivation
to submit to contests starts happening. The power to write more than just the one and set some aside
for future books and submissions becomes your mindset. It’s great!
So here is
my day three poem inspired by a recent trip I took to Cape May. The beauty of
the place and discovering some of its history was awesome. Definitely hope to
go back there sometime soon but for now, here is 1000 words to talk about my “Horse-and-Carriage-Ride.”
Horse-and-Carriage
Ride
my
horse-drawn carriage ride through monumental streets
It was as if
a cathedral of lights
Encircled all
around me
As we
promenaded through the historical sites
The wind so
strong that day, it would fly the perfect kite
History
lurking in the wings
The spirit
of the past echoing
Above the sound
of the hooves of the horse
He walked
with the striking elegance of a king on course
The air wrinkling
my hair and making it dance
So I held
onto the seatbelt tighter with my hands
Miles and miles
through the streets
Down past
the house museums and parked cars
To the beach
where onlookers went to see the evening stars
As if there
were an ekphrastic poem written in the sky
The sunset,
so beautiful and coloresque, as it hit your eyes
And we gazed
through the chordal measures of the evening tide
Suddenly
soothed by the rays of the golden moonlight
Back on to
the carriage to ride on through the night
Holding on to the desire to take an even bigger bite out of
life
