Lying paralysed
on the
wooden floor
staring
at the
clock...
world
literally
upside
down...
Almost 4 am
Tears pooling
in ears
and
splashing
beneath
like
a
bucket
of
cold water...
Allowing
time,
situations,
to slip
away
dissolving
dignity...
ignoring
inner
wisdom
indicates
idle
indecision
indicating
immaturity
Clarity
comes
like
thundering hooves
on
cobblestone streets
not
distant
echos
of fading
intelligence
Don't...
please...
wait...
observe..
listen..
Learn
the
lesson.

Such a wise Magpie ... each stanza chock full of elegantly offered advice.
Been there before. Lessons are hard to learn. Clarity can come at the oddest hour. I like how this was written! :)
A real 4 a.m lament in such short, incisive, one word lines. Amazing how a single
word
can be
so
completely
packed
with meaning.
But the words would be so much easier to read, and more pleasing to look at, if they were't strung out down the page! It really makes for a typographical disaster to a printer...
you really are so talented in your writings, Donna! I enjoyed this one very much!
betty
ah, this is very nice!!
Tears pooling in ears. Such redolence.
Amazing when the ideas and realizations may hit, be it the eleventh hour... or later, like four AM. I do hate those middle of the road trips.
