for those of you who see themselves in it :)


What thoughts...?

What thoughts cross your mind
When you sit in that nook
Just releasing the ghosts from your pen?
What taste has the life
Whirling out of the book
That you open again and again?
What heavenly pain
Fills your smile when you see
The old-fashioned ballet of the clouds?
What soft serenade
Sing the leaves of the tree
Where you hide from the riotous crowds?
What story of lines
Tells the rock you behold
When you even forget how to blink?
What colour's the light
Flowing bitter and cold
In your eye, when the stars do not wink?
What secret you keep
In the ultramarine
Of your sleepless night, caged like a dove?
What thoughts cross your mind
When you think you're not seen
By the eyes of the one whom you love?

Count me as one.

"What taste has the life / Whirling out of the book / That you open again and again" . . . I'm reminded of some advice though I no longer recall its source, to the effect that life is not "a book" with the pages dwindling to a precious few, but each day is a new book, full of pages and possibilities, one of the many stories of your life.

Sounds like a love affair with literature, the creating of and imbibing of it. Wonderful!
