Projected Affection

The Mind's Conjured up Protection

By Kendra AdamsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Projected affection

the mind’s conjured up protection.

Wishing meets wanting

and having equates holding.

control can’t convince us

that chance can’t unhinge us,

yet we place blame on fate

like the hound.

and we give hateful demerits

to the unexpected from yesterday.

Still, we pray ‘neath the sheets and

the curtains drawn at night

For preparation’s grace-

celestial footsteps traced-

With no strings of confusion

and none of doubt’s pollution

just sunshine.

just clear skies.

and more second tries.

Always more second tries

At faking the happiness we think we need to devise.
