safe mornings in the arms of a dark mood
mulling over life with an old seriousness
and yet remaining aloof to all the constant downs.
The drive to create upon me yet again
in the infuriating hours.
First at night when sleep breathes close to my ear
and then when my eyes have newly opened
to another morning.
Catch my song
this page
as it wanders down
half sleeping
half stumbling.
Its just after dawn
and before the day begins its day
I can at least pause for a moment of peace with my words
creation
a world where nothing is impossible to say
because the boundaries of my voice do not exist
when fingers take hold of my talent
my solace from the out loud businessj
of a constantly changing scheme.
This is my world
it has its own voice.
Last night it talked in its sleep through my dreams
left hints of direction on rumpled sheets.
This is my voice
groggy with a trace of waking passion.
These are my words
talking as softly as only I can
in morning hours
when my eyes open too early

"two hearts will build the foundation for one point of light
a duet done with passion"

excerpt from "I Love You"

I hate mornings. But this is a good write.

Cold hands means a warm heart

Jenn,
When you write,
it's always early morning --
on the brink of dreams
and understanding.

Now, if that's not the start of a poem ...
