thoughts from a tired mind

increasing dark swallows shadows evening stars dull till black intoxicating to deduce some logic more time to induce that take a dream and send it skywards inhale a breath of land and sea sink below an evening skyline send a drone to map the scene find a point focus upon it forget a thought that once occurred dredge a river then sail beyond it draw a veil unlock a key

Tired, but thinking quite artistically. Our minds do seem to move on out to sea, or anywhere it allows us.

Are you tired from all the celebrating you did ? Hope you are having a terrific birthday my friend ! Don't dredge too many rivers today, just follow those skyward dreams. Interesting poem, logically illogical and thought provoking. Best of Birthday wishes.

Thanks SV, I have two nights on the trot Friday and Saturday - so we'll see what that does to my poetic skills :)

funny how our mind works when we're fatigued. I loved: sink below an evening skyline...send a drone to map a scene. I appreciate reading your 'rambling thoughts.' Have a great evening, Sara
