On the road

the night bombers sought targets in my head
fiery waves of leaves of autumn outside
in my mind was a still stream
running in rich green grasses
glinting like victorian bottles
tumbling small stones far away into the night
lost roads every inch a home for countless beasts
herds of life everywhere bleating braying longing
for escape
and I dangle a thought wet and blackest purple
deep down inside my head
the sun splitting the trees in shafts of gold
we stretching legs weary with waiting
foraging among freckled leaves
we grow deep in the earth rough stones
of childhood
grey heads nodding down on the infants
lost in thought drifting on white winds
red rosy and dreaming always gliding away
from the day
taking the dream way home

allan,

I take it you are currently inspired?! This was, well, a dream!

"freckled leaves"...   

"we grow deep in the earth rough stones
of childhood..."

allan..you have such a wonderful way with words..your work is like a good movie--you have to see it a couple of times to make sure you didnt miss anything..something new each time   

this is awesome..as usual!

Aw.. thanks you two.. I didn't really think this one worked too well. Too many non-sequetours (how DO you spell that..) and such-like... 'Glad you liked it anyhow!
