Hiding words in a mason jar



We greet the waiting day.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like

if we could hear the sounds that others hear on waking.

The gentle gossamer whispers of the clouds

as they tell each other the secrets of the night.

The Church bell is silent.

When it is,

I miss those chiming peals

that measure out our time with each ring.

Silently

the river flows on through our city like a

fragile,

transparent ribbon.

Waiting for no-one.

I've been filling journal after journal with words

( not all of them make it here )

but....

for today we are two kindred spirits ,

richly soaked in each others dreams

walking in the daytime shadows
