********************************************
Maybe,Maybe…!
A dream woman’s cherished assertion
Spoken with seeming prudence and caution at dusk …
But probably concealing a nervous willingness to make the admission
Meanwhile we will continue to dream many more dreams and ask…
For how much longer can we prolong the twilight confusion ?
Maybe,Maybe…!
A mermaids perplexing expression..
Perhaps a gentle premonition of those dreaded underwater no-go zones ?
Possibly the ocean's stifled remark pertaining to an unreachable horizon ?
Declared initially by a thousand waves in roaring tones
Now re-echoed by the gull and the maid in subdued unison !
Maybe,Maybe…!
A song-bird's mystifying utterance..
A muffled statement of hope from the Isles of love..
Perhaps the rainforest's mantra of measured assurance..
Heralded and sung from high up in the treetops above
Repeated a million times more in this heart, seeking another chance !
