A language I half remember. Pushes and pulls… one and the same Howls half demented, Attention, demanded. Attention given Opening the sliding doors and stepping out Feeling the wind tugging at me, trying to read its moods But it’s a language lost to me, I am no longer the same girl I was 20 years ago A memory stirs, but it does not have the same effect on me any longer… I sit patient, trying to understand But I don’t. Eventually it dies and passes And I close the chapter and goes back into my safe haven. Now here I sit, With the urge to write, About what once was …but is no longer.

This is an excellent description of what I call the 3:00 AM witching hour. It's that muse message that if you don't write it down immediately it gets lost by morning's light. I've speculated whether it is partially enabled by one's physical position being temporarily sheltered from the sun's rays and resulting solar wind which otherwise blocks the stellar wind and whatever might be derived therefrom. Then again, I speculate about a lot of things. ;) After 20 years or so I speculate that much of our body has replaced itself at least once, so yes, we are not quite what we once were. I'm going to be 70 this year...practically a stranger to myself? I used to write poetry, I used to do a lot of things. Thanks for writing. Lloyd
