Notes About The Poem

Are You In There Boy

I watch the sun 

shine brightly through my window.

Ballerina specks of dust 

Softly dancing in the air.

They lure me once again to fall 

Into the memory of my being;

Floating in suspended time, 

Unconscious, but aware. 

At times I sit within the leaves 

Pretending I am one of them. 

Piled high to find the comfort

Of the space we share. 

I seldom speak aloud 

Of how my memory clings, 

To find myself inside so many things.

It is the memory of having been 

Each thing that I recall;

Until a doorbell suddenly rings 

And I am summoned 

From my fall.

Cool clear words and images - in a lovely dream disturbed by a ‘person from Porlock’? (See Coleridge).
