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
