First Thoughts

The skies sit in a slight overcast

No sun here waving at half mast

I lay wondering at what I just witnessed

It brought you closer even though you remain distanced

You were there, my fingertips in reach

Yet something repelled me in your speech

Maybe the curtain is being pulled closed

And I’ve hit the dead end of this road

All I wanted was a little more time

Because I can’t put the reason to your rhyme

Two months, and it’s been radio silent

So I’m on my own as the pilot

There’s no ill will if that’s your worry

That all left me in an earlier flurry

Until then it’s time to make my own peace and go

Because I have no intention of staying low
