do you hear it

softly it ran past her----it came out of nowhere----rounded and cloudy, it descended from an unknown place

visible to those who would choose to see it's outline----but hidden from the cold ones, the empty souls of the greedy

shush----do you faintly hear it's echo-----no-----it cries for your favor-always turning it's many dispositions

alone in the rainy forest, it tip-toes like it was still crunchy---how i love that sound----and it's hard to recreate it in this moist abandoned island

so closing her heavy portholes  to the world---the wistful lull of her sleep calls her back----and there it sprints past her again so far from her, she questioned it's existence and as she rose to call it back---- she was unable to speak it's name

  1. This sounds like a misty dream which the narrator is in, one in which she can only observe. A peek into other worlds comes only to those willing to see? I rather like that.

    Thanks for the beautiful words early in the morning (PDT here).

  3. Hmmm, makes me think of a fleeting memory. Or maybe one of those moments when you first wake up and you keep trying to hang on to that dream but it quickly slips through your fingers leaving you feeling a little empty and alone.

    I may be way off though lol.
