One More Time Poem by Monica Engeler

What would you say
I have been gone a long time
and returning and feeling fine
it is just routine this way?

I'm drinking a cup of tea,
the stars are shining bright,
and I am whistling into the light
you see I am feeling free.

The music tells the sincerity,
my words rhyme like a pipe-dream,
and the chords strum alive in a dream
Life is well for me and satisfactory.

It is like a new nursery song
I am starting life over and better
in the morning, I dress neat all over
so the final key can't play wrong.

No, it is not make believe it is fit
I was away a long time and am back,
maybe my words sound quirky black,
but I'm killing time only for a bit.
