Maybe Nothing

As i walk along in the early morning

I smell all the green things coming to life

I can almost hear them sing to the sun as it rises

Wondering between trees i see a path

It looks like this path leads off into nothing

Though i know it leads to my future

I look again to see a figure in the fog

It has broad sholders and a beautiful smile

He is smileing at me

Walking towords me

I smile and blush

He waves and calls my name

I can not move

He starts running to me

I still can't move

He stops just before me and smiles as he stares into my eyes.

Then just as he tries to kiss me i a pulled back

Pulled back by the realization that this is not for years to come

He disapears before my eyes and returns to the fog

I look again to the end of the path and i see a small child

He smiles at me and waves

My hand finds my waist and my breath hinges

Then he is before me

Looking up with his big innocent eyes

He hugs my waist and disapears to the end of the path

I stand wondering what will come next

The thought hits me that what i have see are only possibilities

Just shadows of the maybes in my mind.

Turning to face a tree i cry for the possibility that they might never be

I might never see their faces again.

I wonder about what maybe inside me at that very moment

Perhaps that beautiful little boy, maybe a girl

Or maybe nothing

I look ahead at the path again wondering whats there

Maybe nothing
