Oh The Random-ness Of Thought

Half way between
here there and everywhere 
spark an interest 
douse the flame 
and the Circle Line 
has the second best view 
of a city of sleepwalkers 
daydreamers 
Svengali's and the like 
but man was i wrong 
when i thought i saw 
the span of the greatest bridge 
in the world 
in your eyes 
even though 
i never noticed
if you were looking at me 
or across the room 
i tend to drift away
from time to time
side effects 
of climbing too high 
without a safety net...

The four universal healing salves:

When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?
Where we have stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experienced the loss of soul.
Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves.

November Chill ~ 2011

Mind Bending

“Darlin you have the voice of an angel…”
eyes twinkle with starlight and words so smooth,
so very smooth
they cause pause and reflection
that only the holy
and anointed
dare stare without hesitation
and in a divine moment,
a split second,
a NY minute counted backwards is short changed,
slipped his hand into mine
stole a single thread of golden light
that circled around my naiveté
angel wings plucked
from high above
leaving minuscule reflections
of tiny glistening pieces –

...no regret.
