My morning broke as I awoke to sunlight with screaming in a room steeped in darkness with smells and tastes of gore that seeped from every pore as razor shards exploded from shattering illusions of a restful sleep. It has been a while since some mystic force of daily life had spun the gain unnoticed on dials of my recall and blown apart the doors on any vault tucked beneath sub-floors in the forbidden caverns of my mind. I’ve never been one to keep souvenirs, and I don’t live in the past, but I’ve learned some of my memories are panthers lurking in the trees that grow on fertile plains of all I know waiting for my dreams to wander unsuspecting on the paths below. ©2006 by icebox |

May the predators that lurk beneath sub-floors in the forbidden caverns of your mind, be gone!  Sleep sweet, Dear Box of Ice!  EA  |

this reaches near perfection...this group of words is exquisite in order, simplicity and in conveyance: "I’ve never been one to keep souvenirs, and I don’t live in the past, but I’ve learned some of my memories are panthers lurking in the trees that grow on fertile plains of all I know waiting for my dreams to wander unsuspecting on the paths below" |

"but I’ve learned some of my memories are panthers lurking in the trees" Know what you mean, Mr. C. I wonder if that will always be the case or if there's a way around that...if you can catch the panthers creeping around...maybe you can surprise them! Restful sleep...an illusion. Just a thought...  ...jo |

Thank you all for the time it takes to read and to share your thoughts. I appreciate it. I think memories are important, even painful memories; without them there can be no real evolution of the soul. We then would have to repeat the behavior in another lifetime. Thanks, again! |

I am grateful my dreams stay right where they belong: forgotten. The past? My waking thought? That's a little tougher to forget. (agreeing with you there, though) (hypnotism, does that work?) *smile* |
