the aftermath brought a storm across the swollen valley evening was heavy on weary shoulders I felt the engine rumble the ground from out under on the four lane just up ahead when I was caught up dreaming of the light in your eyes and how it still makes me warm but like a rain in the desert my heart was a dry ocean without a spirit wondering where it went and no current to carry away my senses that were parched the night seemed long and I’m sleepy which is a road traveled by many I’m regrettably told and only remembered by you when those flying fleeting moments in which you’ve never known where you’ve gone & knowing little of what has been but sure of one thing you’re awake yet within the dream and wondering about the host that guided you in writing and singing all my souls painted pictures & the many times I was told it was just a fantasy or if they’re somehow true the thought brought me to laughter but then into drying tears that introduced me to emptiness when I couldn’t remember when dreams were bright and others dim many alone I’d like to think they helped me though what a companion I have within mystique it sure opened up a space to serenade the silent tranquil stars that should’ve been alarmed and shining but I had to close my winter eyes memories of leaving trembling skies on the wings where lies icy waking landing cries I didn’t know who I was or how I’d come or what I did and what direction from I think though it was early/late & another day/night coming/going to a close/start I wish I could and I’m sorry about something but I just can’t remember .

This was one of the most intriguing and interesting poems I have read in a long time. I loved the format, the content, and was right along with you in this one, as it held my attention the entire trip! Great job on this, and hope to read more of yours. The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |

(sigh) Wow, I just love the stream of consciousness you put into your words, sweet friend, your rambling thoughts had me feeling as though I was walking in the dry desert with you, just yearning for the wind to sweep you away to a meadow of hope and reckkoning! (big hugggssssss) This is marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dave, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
