Caught-A-Thought
~*Marge Tindal*~

I caught-a-thought
that flew through the night
And spun it around
'til dawn made first light~

Weave of a moment
of time-standing-still
Hoping that I can capture it
in flourish of quill~

So gently this memory
touched down slow
Until the breeze said
It's now time to go ...

Then as softly, as it came
it left with a promise
to return once again~

Such very lovely words from your quill of thoughts Marge.  Wonderful.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

Dear Marge:  I'm so glad you caught this thought!  I lose too many of my night-time thoughts, because I don't want to get up and write them down.

Marge, you seem to have many magical things going on around you in the depths of the night. I love hearing about them.

Thoughts can be so elusive in the wee hours--lucky for us that you are able to catch them and metamorphosize them into butterflies that cross a sea of blue.

a great way to think of the creative process - catch-a-thought, all you have to do is think and you win a cigar!

Marge, it's incredible that you can catch those fantastic night time thoughts. But, why should I be surprised, you catch thoughts 24/7/365!!!

I write the most spectacular poems at night and sometimes I even write them down on my note pad. But come morning, either I've forgotten them or what I wrote down is total trash!   ;(

Funny how that works ~~ Hugs, Marti

Marge,

I'm so glad you caught this thought. I'm hoping maybe I can catch a thought or two soon. Seems my muse is on extended vacation.

I could never express the rare late night thoughts that I catch as eloquently as you have here.

Friends~
Thank you all for the encouraging comments~
My heart sometimes sings the songs in the still of the night ...
and I must awaken to pen them~

Those awakening hours have become less frequent ... so I am blessed that the thought meets and greets me on the lawn at dawning~

I love you all ... and thank you from the heart of my little bottom~

Love you~
