My Thanksgving Break Inspired some poetry...




Pedaling Footsteps: A 2a.m. Tune.
by: Jillene Johnson





Re-tune, footsteps, melodic pathways.
brewing oceans breaking, distant melodies...
a new song birthed from the womb of
anticipation.
Lilac sky, map. Closed eyes, key.
Breath.
Fog melts, cleanse, clear, create, haze.

And the footsteps move
in hope of another silhouette.

Vibrant melody. Footstep melody.

Re-set, go. pedaling freely.
Cut the quiet silence.
ocean orchestra, time, silhouette absent.
Pedal on.
expectation seeds sprout, unaware
and alert.
A mirror, a window,
black rose lips. Transparency.

And the absence is broken by
her silhouette.

Vibrant melody. Pedaling melody.

1 step forward 2 steps back.
1 step forward 2 steps back.
eyes meet~footsteps cease.
A silence so loud it must be broken.
a kiss.
A sea of wet kisses
arethe only things loud enough
to quiet the silence.
The shadows made light
as the bodies transform
into one ocean
of crashing
kiss
es
