Everyone has bad days and my thoughts were not my friend the day I wrote this . . . My shed tears are like the quiet drift Of petals from some magic rose; And all my grief flows from the rift Of unremembered skies and snows. I think, that if I touched the earth, Shoved my hand in some nearby stream, It would crumble; losing its worth. These thoughts conjured up, like a dream. ©May 6, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Know what I hear?...mystic poetry at its finest, Jerry! Hugs to you fer that bad day...but I can feel the foggy tendrils of a strong-willed heart clinging in solace to all the Mother's elements... One of my very fav's from you so far! G'mornin  ~T Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Just watching those pink petals flying around around skybound, then falling on the ground as I read this, very strong and deep yet tender |

Awww . . . Thank you so much, Tanya, for your very kind comments. Yes, I have distanced myself from where I was when that poem was written (yesterday). ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Not sure if you were referring to a sleeping dream, or a wishing type one, here. Felt like s a sleep one anyway. Some of my darkest poetry has come from sleep dreams and not being able to shake the feeling once awake. I really liked this one. When dark suits you, it does so quite well. Michael |

Yep, it was a dream Michael, and a lot scarier than what I projected here. Appreciate your thoughts. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
