I had been sitting in my living room by a window one winter day and I became aware of hail hitting the window. For some reason I wondered, if I went out of body and went outside would I experience the hailstorm. I slipped into a lucid dream state and became aware of my Muse by my side. I started writing by inviting him to sit down and write (sing). And he/ I wrote. I love the way he described the scene but I’m still not sure of the meaning of the title and last line. Sit thee down Put thee pen ‘pon paper Sing! Heavenly host Here gathered ‘round As hail ‘pon window pane Does its rappity tappin’. Winds in background chorous croonin’ Beckons the belated dawnin’. Now and then The west wind Finds its whistlin’ spots, Here and there, And the new-fall snow Lies pebbled wi’ hailstones' sprinklin’s, And sparklin’s await the moonlight's beamin’s Foilin’ in the squalls. And do thee wonder now If spirit, soul, or astral form Would wander in these squalls Relishin’ like some fool demented? What think ye now supposin’ Spirit storms be composin’ Wi’ hail and sno’ And kindred be they To the host? Nay, ill wind be ill wind! |

Joe, tell you something, I do this too, haven't really thought about it for awhile, but yes, I find myself drifting off and wham! Words begin to compose themselves in my head, one by one and it's kind of like something else is writing for me. Well, something like that, but I understand and I loved the feel of this.
