Midnight Journey By Paul Wilson The night was mysteriously quiet with a chilling frost in the air Slowly thru a thin vale of fog I saw something moving… I swear Drifting thru time where no ones been a sliver of light all I see Do I dare follow this strange light not knowing where it will lead me Shadows are drifting in and out of the fog… like clouds in the sky I hear voices from everywhere calling…calling but know not why Then a group of people appear taunting me as they soar in flight The forest came ablaze in fire as the darkness gave way to light I tried to run away from them but menacingly they followed A thick shroud of fog covered me rising up from ground so hollowed Searching for a way back to where I was before this strange…strange night Walking in circles round and round then I was lifted up in flight Above the fog and haze I saw the way to where I was before This strange journey I had taken I’ll remember forevermore ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

Wow, dear Paul, you have written a very intriguing poem here! At midnight begins the hour of the ghosts  and I think you have had your very own peak into that mysterious dimension.It is wonderful to have you back, you know, I wondered about your long absence. This is great work, I very much enjoyed the journey! Love, Margherita  |

"then I was lifted up in flight" I love when that happens. It makes me feel all tingly. You did good, Paullie. I knew you would. |

Serenity...You sure lifted up in flight makes you all tingly or perhaps it's something else. LOL. Thanks for the push to give writting another try. I am greatful to you my friend. As the mother bird does when she pushes her new born out of the nest, I guess you gave me that push.Take Care...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

You really capture the feel of another dimension, and I felt my skin prickle as I thought about aura of fear and uncertainty. Your rhyme is impeccable, and I enjoyed reading, although, I do think I will skip visiting that place in my dreams. Karen |

Michael...Good to hear from you. This was from a few months back, when I was trying to stir my muse from hibernation. Seems he only woke up for a few minutes, then went back to sleep. Good luck finding your muse and if you see mine send him home. Thanks for the read & reply...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
