A universe jumbles unfinished in the mind picture upon picture a laconic dimension of perception where comprehension hides in brambles and rubbish churns like a river emptying into the soul the murky and the luminous converge forming an enclosure of concentration where nothing exists, except focus time melts away...a word then another, then another like falling leaves washed by the wind carried to the inner eye read, questioned, reasoned, unleased spread across a white sheet where a sentence grows giving purpose to lucidity translated by each reader in their fashion to be liked or disliked...as the page turns

My dear Frederic there could not have been a more perfect title for this brilliant piece. I think you've covered all branches of writing here. And I also agree with Miss Leanne below as your words are centuries aged. I do so enjoy your work Frederic.

...are you sure you are not channelling some aloof dead famous poet? I love this, this is the way of a real writer...I have much to learn.

I know it can be extremely difficult at times, to describe an inspired thought. For me they do not come that often and if I do not work fast, it leaves as quickly as it came. I like your description of the process very much, Frederic. A poet's, poem!
