Awaking to the darkness
the age of being taken
where the sweetness
loses its flavor and the thirst
for what use to be
has dried the sounds
into a fantasy of words

where the best is minimized
and the open window
has become slight
where the cycle of life
pedals faster going nowhere
as time...
just is.

Donna, good to be reading you. I have limited time...mostly of choice. So very tired from my day that I spend a short time on here to read a few.

Dixie, I see you are back. Thank you and I hope you get settled in and are happy.
    
Sandra, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.


Nancy, I was thinking this morning how far I have come and yet I am still "nowhere" at the moment.
Love this of yours "~Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile~"

a naked run-on thought?

Isn't that streaking?

I loved everything about this.

The opening line is a nice twist, even if you meant it literally, I like it as a moment of awareness of an ominous situation.

You could have said you saw the light, but that is fairly cliche', but putting it that way conveyed your tone very aptly, and you managed to maintain a stoic acceptance through out.

Your second stanza underscored the reluctant reality, and you did an outstanding job of noting the passing of time, even as it seems to stand still.

One of your best, mo!

(and my apologies for not responding to your e mail--but you know how I am...sigh, but I will work on doing beterwith thatl)

But brava on the success of this'n.

I only wish I could add a firefly to light your night.

I just spent 3 hours on an off reading the CA forum discussions. I started this day
(my only day off in the total of 70)  with a headache and believe me, I still have it...but I am grateful Karen, for your critiquing of my poem...although I would never even attempt to place it in CA.
So I thank you for taking the time to understand me...

As always,

M

oh and that goes for you too Robert,

sheesh

Maybe I just need to shake it off?

Sorry, the critique mindset got to be habitual thinking.

That happened so quick it's kinda skeery.



I'll be good, and hey? I meant every word.

When I can "see" someone in a poem, it's my very favorite thing.

I loved it, Karen..I mean that..it made me  think a bit today..all of it, the  discussions in CA and your words... now I am off to sit in the beautiful fall sunshine and warm my body up if not my mind.

hugs and thanks again

Daydreaming explained to the masses.
I loved swirling the words around in my head, waiting to see where you would take my thoughts. And my journey ended right where it began.
Thank you.
