Tossing turning Woke earlier than usual stumbled out of bed. Dressed, Went outside to think. sky so dark not even stars. Memories race, thoughts struggle, frustrations. fears air so crisp it crackles - Life changing moments crowd my thoughts. Heaviness hangs in my heart I think about friends who lost husbands, The pickup semi truck wreck - why does this stick in my mind? (Later learned it was a friend. My niece has her mother's courage It scares me when I learn about the crazies. Staring through the knarled branches Dawn timidly peaks into the darkness. light glimmers through the mourning.  |

ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by the fact that you went outside to think. I sometimes do that. There's something about being out in the fresh air that helps to clear my head... even when images get stuck in there so tightly.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am just drawn to the outside to sort things out. Oddly I am not really an outdoors type. Sometimes if I am awake near dawn I will go outside to watch the morning light break.
