When a writer uses their tools of confused thought let us not forget the discarded things that float in the back of our mind in power.

In the wrinkles of my sleep
Unfold the little things that puzzle
For it is here were most confusion hides

It is a scrap yard of information
Discarded in the back of your mind
For under the mess lies a quicksand of sorts
For when you try to figure it out
It shifts itself around in the shadows

So you are on a continuous mission
Of seeking out the truths out of fiction
For even in fictions can lay some values
To bring into the truths we live on

It is here we gain a depth of discarded things
To save for the opportune time
To bring them into a fresh mind

Let that rubber band that holds
Stretch your mind out into the tension
Of springing back on a ride of joy
Flying the skies of wild ideas
To fall upon a discarded pillow

Of the softest material
That can melt into your skin
And into the expanse of your mind

Cuddling you up into a fuzz ball
Of static charges
Which excite the nerve ending of words

To stand up and take the charge
Electrifying the screen
In its own magnetism of sight

To carry itself beyond you
And in the gems of someone else’s eyes

BRAVO!!! WOW!!! I never thought of thes ethoughts that way, a "scrapyard of information, discarded in the back of your mind." BRAVO!!! Your wisdom shines in all your marvelous words, may we reach in and gather all the pieces and make anew all that we can imagine and create! (sigh) Your talent amazes me, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet eagle, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
