Oh what elusive dreams I feel,
So close that I can smell the dew,
On the petals of the daffodill,
So near and yet so far..
Yearning so much to know that part of you,
The man I see when I close my eyes and dream..
Wandering aimlessly,
And donning rose colored glasses,
Lest I spy a side not yet revealed..
Or in my nietivity simply chose to ignore,
Oh where do I go from here.
Do I veer from the path I have thought to be mine,
Do I look the other way and let uncertainy be my guide..
Alas, haven't I worn these same blinders before,
Another place another time,
And where did that lead me ..
So very easy to pick the first flower,
and compose the arrangement,
Or linger and ponder awhile,
And hold out for perfection.
Shall I muster up all my strength,
And open mine eyes wide and see..
The face that is you, The dark side,
Painstakingly, hidden from me.
