On this dark, dismal day
Looking for rusted, brown hinges that I want adorned
I hear voices trying to reach me from a distance
But I sit tight, head bent, my mind scanning the flow of words
There's a sudden urge to stop thinking
And let my fingers play the music of words.

The mess of papers scattered all around me
Reminds me of the time when I sat with my feet in the water
Threw pebbles in the river and watched them sink with slow, soft ripples
Felt in my hands the smooth texture of a stone worn out by time
And wondered if that was me in that tiny little stone, frozen forever.

Moments find strange ways to seep into memories
Yellow memories.

Walter, I loved the feel of this, which zapped me right there beside you...so descriptive, so profound, so atuned to a moment in thought....

marvelous read...thank you

Thank you, Leej.

A little heads-up goes a long way.
