Day shift. I wake without my dream. Lay down & try to go back. A truncheon urges me on. I cannot speak their dreamless dirge but understand that beating baton. See others talking to the sky & tying ribbons on tree branches. God is here. I've crossed over. Dream done. #vss365

I found a corner, in the abandoned room, where the clocks have long since unwound, and where the stillness dusts the mantel. the walls shed, the webs hang, the air has settled into familiar piles..

People are flowers half life's spent in bed waking for their dew. When we feed on the seeds of the secrets we keep we wither our sleep in the longing for darkness far from the truth of the sun. Do not be afraid to be open as the day to blossom as you. #MadVerse

Where our beloved. To the mist in a hollow Little droplets of dew. Such thought creates memory, Thus life whispers, forever. #TankaThursday
