She prays
At the beginning
Of each day
Words flowing
Rising with the sun
Hope building
Wanting
That kind of love
The kind
You dream about
Feeling
No doubt
Only for now
She prays
Reaching
For the moment
Encompassed
By the dream
In the end
She still prays
Here at night
Each word
Hitching a ride
Among the stars
Flying
Through the sky
Everyday
She prays
New year
New beginnings
Cleaning out the old
To welcome the new
Finding items
That once belonged
To you
Sitting here
Waiting
For a rush of emotion
A touch
Of what we had
Now
This shirt
Your forgotten hat
Serve only as
A vague reminder
Lost in dream land
Pictures
Showing
That small window
Of time
When we thought
There was
The rest of our lives
Having parted ways
Never speaking
These days
We only have
These reminders
And memories
That stayed
What do you find
In your thoughts,
When I cross your mind?
Do your hopes
Dreams
Brighten?
Do they seem
Closer to reality?
Does a smile
Play
Across your lips?
A feeling
You never
Want to forget.
Or has it become
A fleeting thought?
Just a breeze
Passing through

With every moment
Hour
Day
I contemplate
On what I said
What I did
What was I expecting?
For what
Was I hoping?
Was it
For the magic
To continue?
For it to grow?
Second thoughts
Giving
My mind a row
Tumbling through
Ego talking
Like it knows
Freezing my heart
I left on my sleeve
Looking
For a little warmth
Just a hug
To ease some slack
On this rope
Tied from mind to heart
As this
Possible future
And Past hurt
Tug of war
Wages on
