The Journey

As I lay in bed there dreaming. Lowered down in silent screaming. into a world of silent shadowed shores. In the waters bleak and freezing. In a time I wander teasing. Seeking out the life I so desperately sought before. Then a tree so distant tall. leaves that tumbled unto a call. Lightly falling glades of silvery seeds, glistening upon the shadow shaded shore. Reality it came to me. The time that left the time that be. insightful colors joyous glee growing life from guilt of battered devils door. Whence there upon a breath I took. A whitened light the shadow shook. Smiles greeting journey of time that lie before.

Thank you Carol. All my teachers always told me I should be a writer. But I never could come up with stories just ideas for them. I never considered poetry. I don't really know where this stuff comes from it just kinda pours out. I'm sure most poets can relate.
