Drifting slowly with the warm breath of a lazy dog, I turn and gaze cautiously through hazy green eyes upon a softly existent land where images dance and play among shadows at the edge of an amber forest Where I turn my attention, undivided fully directed, puzzles unwind and recoil faintly indicating the observation or maybe an insight that may not exist where one walks and talks Clearing the webs of indecisive spiders the silk remnants coalesce and slowly transcribe the unremarkable thoughts grasping with quick typists hands the meaning hidden in the mist As blue teeth chatter their voice a flight of wings criss-cross the dark spaces, bringing a vivid and detailed memory from their chains within the gloom Waiting for sight through eyehole slits with nothing to fear beyond forgetting my mind yields a sparkling glint knowledge that makes a nest in my fully concious mind The memory of flowers The scent of fresh flowers |

~JB~ The visual imagery in this poem is so real and life-like. It almost is like a story. I found myself at the end wanting to read more LOL. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Sighs....now only if I could think of something to write!  Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |
