How Could I Know? #writephoto

Posted on July 6, 2018 by Carolyn Dennis-Willingham, Author

crossing

If you stay on one side

and I the other

how will I know the color of your eyes

what tune your voice plays when your words lilt into the air?

How will I know if humor is one of your senses

or if the shoes you wear have traveled far?

I want to know what made you grow

and what kept you stagnant

what made you smile

and what made you weep

If you stay on one side

and I the other

how would I ever be

enlightened?

The last two words are a surprise. I would have ended it how would I hsve known – depressing. Enlightened changes it to a beginning, not an end.

  “How would I have known” were exactly the words I started to write but didn’t want to be too predictable. 😉

      I don’t either. I’m too busy writing and playing with grand babies. 🙂

        Grand babies definitely take precedence, don’t they? 🙂

        Indeed. But if I had your painting talent, I would unbundle the brushes and oils and restart my engines.

        “The Easel Whispers” – an excellent beginning to your new poem.
