oh ... sometimes at the crack of dawn when storms shake the ocean of my sleep or when the sun goes down and it is dark in total silence I pick up my pen my hair a flowing river soft as a spiders web and words begin to drip like blood in my imagination I set sail on a vast ocean smooth as glass where clouds sail across the sky and seagulls call then, like a waterfall over a cliff my words fall onto white until I sit still exhausted of words then, I give them their wings and send them to fly like birds in the sky

I love at the end how you let the words fly to the sky. This is so lovely. I wonder , is it for one of Brian's contests? I think it would be deserving of a win. My favorite part was this awesome imagery: my hair a flowing river soft as a spiders web

It’s a lovely feeling when words take flight, especially when they’ve kept one awake most of the night. A lovely poem Constance and picture too… Belle
