some things are harder to find again
than others
dim trails, lost places
those faint glimmers
of ideas and dreams
faded laughter and plans
gone dry as the paper
they were scribbled on
promises dated
like scratchy mix tapes
abandoned by the not right now
in the hopes of later

Thanks for adding indigo ink to my blue mood–I should be able to write some fine melancholy poems today. True words, you wrote–sad, sad, sad.

Oh dear – I much prefer to cheer you up – but then any fuel I can add to the fire to burn things up can’t be all bad…

Oh well, I didn’t get anything fine and wonderful written–but I did “something”, which I will post later on because sometimes my “garbage” gets tons of reader response (go figure). I may have been too tired, so will have another try tomorrow–oh, it IS tomorrow, 5:25 am in fact–which means I’d better hit the hay! Nighty-night, Love

It’s quieter here, usually, in the wee hours–and I’m not real big on sleeping.

I get that… I need at least 6 hours but then again I’m usually up by 6am!

I try to get 7 hrs, but they’re odd hours for sure–and I dare say I’m going to have to adjust things, with DST approaching, since I can’t sleep with the light shining.

The Professor reminded me not to throw them all out as then there would be nothing to insert in the tape deck… Do they still sell them?
