Glowing worms
go flowing by
what did I just see?
A slithering slipstream
of living vapor
with names of thoughts
that light
when thought.
A living stream
of light
and thought
and thought
and light
and so I’m
mindful of
a mind full of
thought.
Am I awake?
A dream?
A dream!
That gorgeous instant
of living in a dream
with conscious mind.
Yet focus and it is gone:
a mist,
a vapor;
as are we,
and vivid too
and
something
someone
yearns to hold onto.
Just love that piece Richard, love the way all the words connect and flow together in perfect rhyme, without actually all rhyming – you have a very unique style which I very much enjoy.
Thanks again for the kind words Janet. I also replied to your comment on Facebook, which I very much appreciate. Two of our sons are actors in school and community theatre, and it has recently occurred to me, that, unlike a stage production, in which the performer is able to witness the audiences response to their work immediately, the medium of writing require that the members of the audience take the time and write a thoughtful comment, such as you have done so often. (Sorry for the horrible run-on sentence.) Comments such as yours are a very great encouragement to me and I thank you warmly for the time and consideration you have taken to express your response to my works
This is one of my favorites. Many people just read the words, not the meaning of the words, love this.
Thanks for the kind words and comment Kirsten. I am glad Glowing Worms is one of your favorites.
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad my blog and writing style have made appositive impact.
