When You Daydream.........

I posted this question after it came to me the other day as I was, you guessed it..... daydreaming. The older I've gotten, the more my mindless daydreaming has been about things in the past. In particular, about college and early in my career. And it's probably not a coincidence a good number of friends and colleagues from those days have died.
 
I can remember walking home from school in the late 70s with two walls of brightly colored trees on either side of me. The wind was gently twinkling the leaves. I remember thinking it was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. I still hold that view in my memory. Fall brings an end to summer and the approach of months of cold. It makes a person reflective and that can’t be indulged too much.
Ah, this is pretty. I had a similar experience while walking home from school in the 70s, too. As I came down one residential street, for an entire block, the street was covered end to end with gorgeous fallen leaves in gold and scarlet. I just stood there drinking it in, and amazingly, I have not forgotten that scene either.

thats the logical explanation, but i prefer to believe that a little bit of fate and maybe a smidgen of "magic" ....(energy), put it there to be posted. i like to think that somehow, someway, something bigger is at play sometimes...........

In the hush between two heartbeats, where time folds like silk in a drawer,I drift—an echo of amber hours,a whisper stitched in the hem of before.

The past is a prism of half-lit halls, where shadows wear my childhood’s face. i walk through doors that never closed each step a spell, each sigh a trace.

A clock made of moth wings ticks in reverse, its hands dipped in honey and rust. I sip from the chalice of yesteryears, where dreams decay but never dust.

Yet forward—oh, the silver thread!It hums beneath my skin like fire. The future is a mask of stars, a riddle dressed in sapphire.

I see it, a garden of glass and flame, where thought becomes thunder, and souls uncoil, beings of light, to dance in the breath of wonder.

Between the then and the yet-to-be, I am the mirror, cracked but whole. A vessel of visions, a keeper of keys, the alchemist of soul.

So let me dream in paradox, where memory and myth entwine—for in the spell of what’s to come, i await those souls i can help to shine.
