WHY WON’T YOU SPEAK TO ME?

Who are you, anyway?

** ** **

Through the corner of my eye

I saw your fleeting shadow.

I know you’re here,

You come often enough,

And yet, you never say a word.

**

Are you friend or foe?

Who are you?

How am I to know

If I am safe or

In harm’s way?

**

I hesitate

To ask others

If they’ve seen you.

And yet, I wonder.

Are you real

Or in my mind?

**

And even thinking this,

I wonder:

What would I do

If you never answer?

More importantly,

What would I do if you did?

My husband and I found our paradise in Punta Gorda Florida where the weather always keeps us guessing.
