Something is amiss
On the horizon of my soul
Looking from this abyss
The dawn is unsure
The sun hesitant
As it tries to hide behind ominous clouds
The sky has a culpable aura
The woods are silent
Save for a persistent senile owl
The whisper of the breeze through the trees
Seems somehow sinister
As is the timeless river’s temptation
All is anxiously expectant
In the uncertainty
Of You
THIS IS SO TRUE, REGIS...IT CAN BE THAT WHEN THE ONE WE CARE FOR IS NOT HAPPY (FOR WHATEVER REASON)...NEITHER ARE WE, SO WE 'EXPECT' THE WORSE. DONE SO WELL AND ENJOYED. I WILL KEEP THIS ONE, LOVE,
JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
The loneliness jumps from the page into your readers heart and soul ... one can help but feel the despair of being without the one you love ~ intense and much appreciated, Reg ~ Hugs, Lizzie
vivid imagery and the words reflect the uncertainty of tomorrow but to take a moment to be quiet in "today" and let the world around you give you the courage to face tomorrow and just know you will be okay. Nicely done!
It is very strange Reg that you should write these very words, because I am feeling the same towards my latest failure at romance. It is one thing for the soul to sit on the rocks playing the clarinet, and another for the music to be happy. You have written a soulful and heartfelt piece of heartache, of which there is too much of in the world. Thasnk you for sharing Reg.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your sister Barbie
"...save for a persistent senile howl..." that insist trying to explain to you what was going to happen...uncertainty is the name of the game, like playing poker, it is for real or is she bluffing?
Such great atmosphere conjured here, Regis, that communicates your eery sense of unease so well... not spooky exactly... more like all else knows something YOU don't know... that kind of feeling! Yes, unsettling indeed. Feel like saying "BOO!" Makes me jump at my own shadow... TY Kate xx
I love the way you bring a thought to life. Your excellent imagery compliments your style. Intriguing piece enhancing that "Uneasy" feeling. Peace, Love and Blessings to You Always, Paul.
Regis,
I love and understand the tone of this poem. It's as if you are waiting for something to happen; there is more, just around the corner. I feel this way many times. Your use of nature in this piece is extremely creative and expressive. I especially like the creativity of the owl line. Fantastic write! Love and Hugs~

This is beautifully profound Reg! I loved this poem!
such enticements of imagery of serenity!
I understand these strange out of the way feelings, I haven't slept - Just writing and sharing - It doesn't always happen!
Hope things soon change!!! :)
WRITE ON!

Regis, isn't it strange how the mind can play games with us, leaving us wondering day by day what life has in store for us. I do believe "we" all do this. None of us knows what God has chosen for our lives, all we can do is "expect" the best life has to give, and I do believe God will give it to us. This writing is an exceptional write.
So true Regis,, we really do live moment to moment not knowing what is ahead of us,, your poem flows with beauty,,, We have so much to be thankful for.
Love, Christine
Just for a brief moment…STOP right there
Let the lights reflection in
Singing a million love songs
A million thought miles of sharing!!
Even for just a brief moment
Remembering the joy of loving!!
Such undeniable doubts you have expressed in this poem, Reg; many of your readers will associate this with some part of their lives...and find solice in that they are not alone. An amazing poem of reality you pen, dear friend!

This is reminiscent of the work of one of the poetic masters. You have captured the essence of doubt laced with a little self pity. Only a great poet is capable of such creativity. Absolutely wonderful work Reg. May peace be always with you. JMW
Reg, this is by far, one of your best written poems, very passionate and deeply moving..I loved how you ended with this verse,
"As is the timeless river’s temptation
All is anxiously expectant
In the uncertainty
Of You"
You are one very special man..
Peace, love, and light,

Emotions abide...like the wind within restrictions release...
Unexplained like your owl calling into the ebony silent darkness of night...There is no sea undaunted by the caress of the nimbus moon
swaying in unseen motion as a crescent peek within the galaxy of pearlesque jewels like a comet kissing the questions of uncertainty...
in love of your beautific splendored express from the poetic sphere of your heart Regis....

If only each individual of every couple felt such love and longing... Many of us would, I believe, chose to be 'Uneasy' rather than knowing where we stood with our mate. Too many see their 'beloved' as anything but
...something we all can so easily feel at times...is well captured in your title...and all your words surrounding it.
really wonderful work Regis...
John
Gorgeous offering, Reg. It can be difficult when we are involved with someone whose motivations are not clear to us. We get these gut feelings that gnaw at us and invade the peacefulness of our days. Wonderful work!
Take care,
Sherry
This is excellent-and you say you are not a writer or poet. I doubt somehow that the owl is senile, just still searching. The abyss in the soul is something you can only find the roots to alone-nothing or no one else can "fix" that. Sometimes the unsure dawn and the hesitancy to shine can be magic, the promise of creating your dreams instead of waiting for them. No one should hide behind the clouds, but rather pass through them as best they can. It is interesting that the sky would be culpable, as it is blue and yet grey, too and someone is always to blame. The ending of this makes me wonder, because the whole start of this poem is about you, but the end makes it about someone almost saving you, which is what causes all the ominous clouds and sinister breezes because it is you who has to save you. This is one of your best poems yet. Love it, Regis. Love, Michelle xo
Uncertainty is unnerving...commitment is hard to come by, but perhaps this is why the owl calls who...who...who - a wake-up call of who that someone might be in our lives...be well, Regis...
