Poetry and Prose

A Facebook Status

What’s on my mind?
A million lives I’ll never find.
Places long forgotten
The spaces in between moments remembered

What do I contemplate?
A thousand words I’ll never say
Apologies and confessions
Left to the cutting room floor of conversation

What do I believe?
A hundred reasons for being
Love and harmony
A beauty yet to be seen

What I think?
Ten thoughts bombarding my mind
This choice or that
A silent cacophony of the undefined

What do I want?
One thing unspoken
A consciousness unbroken
Unrelenting in pursuit of life’s meanings

What’s on my mind?
“I’m doing fine…”

-D.A. Baker
