The Clearing...

more ponderings and ramblings...

     Dreams... tauntings and teasings. A glimpse of Heaven... and then the stern chastisement... "You can't stay here. You don't belong." Ponderings abound... Puzzlements at the complexities of me and my confusings. Those are my shadows I know them well... So how? I wander this forest deep, knowing every twisted tree and bramble. In blackness I run freely here. Intimately, I am that darkness. Torn by kiss and thorn... Pursuing the glint of an ember, brilliant blue, at the end of the path, I thrive, the shadows thrown by you... Always just from the edge of the clearing.

The clearing...I imagined walking the crossroads. We are sometimes guided and sometimes mislead by the same people that have graced our lives.

I loved this...."A glimpse of heaven..."

On a good day I image that heaven is forever constant...surrounding us with light and positivity...but these shadows you speak of.....it brings me back down to reality. We cannot thrive in the light without the darkness....we need the hard times to remind us of our blessings.

Your style is so unique - this is peering into another's thoughts - very eerie. A really enticing read.

Thank you for taking the time.

i find it amazing when you realize you are in a dream, but also the realization that you can't stay. it's either toward the dream or reality that lies beyond the clearing. a brief and intimate glimpse into your mind. excellent stream-of-consciousness.

Complex and simple at the same time. You run with a new idea every sentence. It moves fast pace and gives your brain a challenge to think. Enjoyed the beginning, it seems like the place you always want to be is the place you don't belong. I can see someone wandering in a forest and it coming alive around them until they reach the edge. Back up or fall? Embrace the fire or put it out? I liked it.
