The stillness of midnight quiets my mind in slumberous surround sound. Dreams capture my thoughts, or is it the other way around? Sleep comes in bits and pieces, a few short minutes at a time. Morning sun gently wakens me, sometimes finding my meandering mind caught within a golden rhyme. The words have never been mine. I’ve simply borrowed them from some generous muse passing by in a night flight, who saw fit to lay them at my feet, as if she were some poetic golden goose. I’ve never struggled to find a word, and sometimes, the music follows, like horses galloping in a closeknit herd, or colors banding together into a rainbow after a caressing heavenly shower. The stillness of midnight quiets this mind and soul, showers me with celestial music that falls freely from the clouds long after twilight embraces the daysky in goodbye, passionate as a lover’s farewell kiss and sigh. That's when the dreams capture my thoughts. Or is it the other way around? |

That's when the dreams capture my thoughts. Or is it the other way around? somewhere they meet midstream with you as the medium |

Either way .... such dreams or thoughts hold you in the highest of regard amongst stars, clouds, and all the other angels I found myself caught in your words! cT |

The words have never been mine. ~*~ Kacy, I know just how you feel... sometimes the words are just there but I always know they have been used before... and I marvel that perhaps you, and I... can fit them just once into a different puzzle. Write on! |
