Perhaps
is a Wondering Word!
Filled with uncertainties
and possibilities,
hopes and dreams
and memories
and regrets too.
Perhaps
is a Questioning Word
that’s in love with
“What if”,
“Maybe”,
“I Might”
and especially,
it’s beloved – “Someday”.
Perhaps
is a chameleon thought
that matches most anything
you want it too,
if you phrase it
just right.
We keep them,
our collections of Perhaps,
knowing full well
they will most likely
keep us
from moving forward
and acting.
Perhaps,
we should change?

Wonderfully evocative, Every mistake in life can be placed at the door of perhaps or maybe!

Clever poem here. I think sometimes “perhaps” needs to hide from me.

Why, thank you, My Friend! I’m not often linked with “clever”. LOL! Yes, “Perhaps” but “Maybe” we should hide from those two words? LOL! So good to hear from you. Glad to be home again.
