Maybe

It seems like there’s a bit of a theme this week with writing poetry. I’m down with that. I think poetry is a great way to express yourself. And since this micro-blog is about getting to know the members of Valhalla, I think it’s a good idea to throw in some pretty prose poetry. Here’s something I wrote about my favourite word:

maybe is my favourite word
it’s neither yes, nor no
it’s at neither end of the certainty spectrum
right in the middle where hope smiles back

maybe is my favourite word
it’s written in sand not stone
it’s free to wash away with every new tide
and make room for something different every time

maybe is my favourite word
it’s the key and the wedge
it’s what leaves doors open
when all other answers lock it behind you

maybe is my favourite word
it’s a friend, not foe
it’s always generous and forgiving
for a mind that needs it most

maybe is my favourite word
or is it? I don’t know, maybe…
