Fishing For Answers

PROMPT #90. Ekphrastic Poetry – 2013 Photo Prompt #1

By Poetic Bloomings

If you had not left

then perhaps I would hear

more than the whisper

of time disappear

and I would hear gladly

those feet in the park

instead of standing

here sadly

fishing

in the dark

If you had not left

would the tide cease its crying?

would gray day

not murmur

the color of dying?

If you were still here

to cast, next to me

your beautful dream

would the sun

shine suddenly?

 ...or will this river swell

with the gathering of tears,

 of birch-leaf and moments

lost in yester-years?

If you had not left

would we fish together

and would every day

be

perfect weather?
