tim's Bits and Pieces - 15. Morning Dreams and Autumn
A word about this first one, before you read it. I'd had a great night's sleep, i woke and deciding it was too early lay back down. In that short sleep i had an awful dream. So awful i didn't think i'd live much longer and i wanted to immediately e-mail all my chapters for my next story to my editor. i felt certain i wouldn't be around to post them. I wrote this because sometimes we write to forget things, or to just deal with them in the best way we can. I don't really think i am the devil ... i mess up sometimes and get after myself harshly, but i know i'm not evil.
Writing them down, stops them lingering in the brain and making a mess of the joint!
1.
In my early morning dreams, Death wanders freely
I watch us from above, talking like old friends at breakfast
My tongue grows forked, yet I notice this not
It’s clear as Death models me, as I morph into him
Liar, the devil’s tongue, monster.
I awaken from this dream
Pretending it’s not the truth,
Or my tomorrow,
But there is no mistake; this is a dream of my making
It is the punishment for my folly, you say
I know it is the truth
With your trust, i have paid
i thought about this one while i was standing at the bus stop. i thought, there is no poetry here on this road or in these trees ... meh, i've been wrong before ...
2.
Has Nature taken a step to the left?
There is no poetry in these plain trees
Green is the colour in which they are dressed
No tinge of red, or sliver of gold
They seem not in a hurry to change
But the weather’s been cooler—
Autumn is riding in on the breeze
