Sitting on the edge of twilight zone of consciousness
dangling by gossamer thread of sanity on the verge of slumber
casting random pebbles of words
into the pond of turbid reflections
causing ripples to stir abandoned memories
that had banded together and resisted being written about
and had become tight fisted about confession
I wait an eternity for some response
empty handed and exhausted I stray back to sleep
hypnotized by the darkness of nightmares.
love the metaphors

Beautiful metaphor. It can be a wonderful or melancholy experience when we toss those pebbles and stir memories. Really love how you wrote this.

You are right…it can be melacholic or wonderful depending on what memories are stirred. Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate your presence here.
