Blinded By Wonder! Poem by Trevor Seery

Eyes squinting in the bright lights,
Head held high in the suns crystal flight,
Rain drops fall like tears from my face,
Not because of loss, not because of pain,
But of a feeling that makes my heart race,
A feeling that cuts like a stab to the heart,
Let it be so, with a brand new start,

Memories of old flames, from the grate of regret,
Leave them be, but never forget,
You have missed the bus; you have missed the train,
My attempts to catch you seem to have been all in vain.
A flightless bird cornered by fear,
I am out of the game until I fly again my dear,

My mind is awash with the floods of the season,
Many an excuse but never a reason,
The world was here before we met,
It shall remain after our memory forget,
I want what I can’t have, and I can’t have what I want,
It’s a hug, a kiss, a voice to console,
One thing in my life I could not control.

All stars align so perfectly in place,
A situation corrected, a smile to my face,
Time is just a moment, plucked from the skies,
A feeling righted by enthusiastic replies,
Lost in thoughts, thoughts and dreams,
Nothing is ever as easy as it seems,
As I wish upon a star,
I think of you and where you are?

Atop the waves of wonder, once upon a time,
The sun cast its rays of light that made eyes sparkle and shine,
A page started, a new corner turned,
A lesson in life and love earned.
