Half

Halfway through the day
I was neither half asleep
Nor half awake
Fragments of midnight
Floated in my half-empty coffee
When the midday sun
Bisected the middle
Of my imaginary world
And fractured my hourglass.
Then, the misplaced sands of time
Filtered through my half-empty hand
That was half full
Of dreams and rhymes
Mid-afternoon, I was meandering
Below the half moon’s
White silhouette
And wondering
“Were the long shadows
that fell upon my sundial,
halfway gone
or halfway there?”
Sometimes it doesn’t matter as long as you are all the way there. This was so lovely, Ivor.
Hi Violet, thank you for visiting my poem here at Coffee House Writers magazine . I think understanding where we are is the the most important thing 🤗🌏😍
