Diagrams
Life is a pie chart
Shade it three-quarters
Due to waiting
For news
Or answers
Or reasons why
But keep that one-fourth bright
For moments
Kept in memory.
Three AM
Outside
The rain whispers
Playing counterpart to sounds
Inside
Soft tapping of keys
Give birth to ideas
Baby-stepping their way
Across blank pages.
From another room
Brushed drumbeats and low strings
Spread light upon a scene of
Quiet work
And little sleep
As Yet
Tonight I read
As if you were listening
Attentively
While hidden
In a quiet corner
3 lit
And undisclosed
But there.
As underneath
An imaginary spotlight
I revealed
My true intentions.
