The words all lay in limbo with the stars that wait to shine
The waking light of moment, brought the pen to write the line
From beyond the place of reckoning, of greatest lecture taught
Words from deep within the heart, the purest glint of thought

They appeared down on the paper, with a mind near of their own
And though I sit in solitude, I’m not here all alone
There are angles round me singing as the devil pokes the flame
There are many others speaking in my mind without a name

Their words dance on my paper, taking partners one by one
Then fit within the puzzle that the mind does use for fun
They come and go till happy just to be were they will rest
Then look up at me smiling, as I finalise my quest

Hello Rick

Bravo!! Wonderful writing and something that I can so easily relate to.  I keep a pen and paper next to my bed as many times I have awoken with an abundance of words that need to be put on paper.

Take care......Sue
