Unfinished thoughts were about in the air.

It was out there inthe desert  that I
saw the clouds hanging low.

Darkness congregating.  Then vanishing.

Gray, gray landscape -
Dry as the tongue which would
speak to the sun and cold as
the corridors of the mind.

This place was certainly born
here tonight.

The moon says so and the stars refrain.

But it is the ground which listens and
waits for the coming footsteps.
And it is yet the ground which
will move here tonight.

Oh stars - If I would have known on
the day I was born I certainly would
have died that day.

Oh moon - It would be fine to  be
as realistic as something very
old to shine as one so young.

Oh ground - I will lie here
and wait with you.

Perhaps sleep.
Perhaps dream.

Gray, gray landscape -

the corridors of the mind.

First know, the word "perhaps"
is very special to me
and a few of my poet friends...

second, please know...
this is a very good write.

Thank you, edh...
