What If?

Karen Hecht Springer

July 24, 2012

 

I see my daily inspiration

At the bottom of my coffee cup.

It begins so innocently, so temptingly fresh,

Ideas percolate, the thoughts swirl round and round,

Mix with a dash of chemistry shot through with uncertainly,

And unfurl

Into a frothy frenetic frenzy, which then

Peter out into tepid, languid thoughts of past

And I’m left with

Just another dried ring of what if.

This is excellent expression, Karen. There are more meanings laced in this cup but the ideas radiate everywhere before the cup is empty.

The secret is not what if but actually there is.
Reality is subject to our whims and desires. When we control our whims and desires we control everything.

Like your way of thinking

One whole lot of irony! Very clever for early in the morning. Think I'll go irony the clothes.

Hah! Frustrating ain't it? I quite well know the feeling.

such a build up and then the cold dash of reality. Really had me going. Love it. Liz
