Evening Contemplation

Villanelle for Dr. Ram Mehta A great challenge and inspiration! .,;;~~~*~~~;;,.*.,;;~~~*~~~;;,. Thoughts are dancing in the shadows Thoughts are strolling with the fireflies Lazy thoughts quicken my resting senses Cure the ignorance and idleness Before the great and strong dies Thoughts are dancing in the shadows Spry, joyous creations of tenderness Increase the ideas and mental workings Lazy thoughts quicken my resting senses Smells, tastes, feelings and thoughts caress Neurons of knowledge, visions and sighs Thoughts are dancing in the shadows Shadows of creativeness are pure bliss Compute the phrases into poetic verse and lines Thoughts are dancing in the shadows Lazy thoughts quicken my resting senses. .,;;,.*.,;;,.

Contemplation reminds me of the Hindu and the Buddhist practices which I like to engage in. I like the "Shadows" on the Inner. Mine are a deep blue with various golden swirls and unidentifiable forms. Dr. Mehta should like this one, as do I. Love, daver

Well thought out Villanelle..Great repeating lines..Those thoughts just keep coming either from God or Satan and that is our choice....Keep the wellspring of inspiration flowing onto the keyboard and bless us with the overflow..Mom
