Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Leaden eyelids
looking through my lashes
a thought away
from dissolving
into a dream
drift over to
an adrenaline rush
an eye opener
that succumbs
in seconds
to lead eyeliner
looking through my lashes
leading me home

And 'twas a good thing for that sudden rush, Lori, sometimes we don't need to revisit things in dreams, too easy to turn into nightmares in broad daylight.

No Kidding! Lately the drive home has been a real bugger...I try to suck down some caffene before I go...
I hate it, it is very scary. Luckily there is little traffic on the highway and the little stretch of black top I take to get home. Thanks Jerry

Ah, now, see...I've been enjoying my drive!



But I won't dare tell you how to make it better.

You won't tell me how to make it better?
Thanks, consider the alternative. :p

Very impressive, dear Lori.

Be careful, it is a matter of fractions of seconds. I have experienced this too when driving home on summer evenings, when it is hot and one is tired ...

Loud music and singing along will lift the heaviness a little I think.

Love,
Margherita

I play Stevie Ray Vaughn real loud, when I get "leaden" eyes while driving..that keeps me awake.
I like the way your poem is arranged, Lori..compact, and visual.
I enjoyed reading it.
