Analysis of Untitled
Josephine Youngblood 1978 (Houston, Texas)
Meadows of dreams I have found
In my sea of thoughts I have drowned Visions of memories flutter by as enchanting as a butterfly
Only happiness lingers here
As fast as lightning your face appears
Waves of emotions wash over me
As our times together I suddenly see
Our friendship held the most powerful bond
tied together from beyond
What I wouldn’t give just to be with you
I suddenly realize how much I miss you
To hear you laugh obnoxiously loud
criticizing people from a crowd
My dreams are merely wishful thinking
Abruptly I lie still blinking
