A Poem a Day (189): Seldom


Seldom

An almost never in forever,
Words plucked, white silk feathers

Floating freely, never at rest.
Secrets kept close to your chest.

One visit in a year of same days,
Crossed in a calendar of “always”.

We wait and listen for daylight,
The turn-off to sleep of still night.

An epiphany will always spin,
Tossing ribbons of colourful sin.

Toes dug down deep in purple sand,
We wait for empathy to offer its hand.
