It's Still Life

Quadrille #51

Roots of Fiction

my first waking thoughts
are never of morning,
never what pills
I should take, which joint
ointment for knees or
sore muscles, or is it
Monday or Tuesday.
I wake to my
pens and paper, scribbling
down remains of dreams,
burning roots of fiction.

    Those burning roots are gateways to the present moment. Who cares what day it is huh?

    Ah….to wake, brew coffee for me before the uptake of pen….but I do so understand. It’s that morning quiet that roots out the words. 🙂

    That is wonderful, because during sleep all that creative energy gestates and bursts forth into words in the morning.

      It’s obviously way past my bedtime; I actually looked up the word “sofiery” in the dictionary.

    I wish I could hang onto my dreams like that. First thought is usually: is it time to get up yet?

    Coffee first! I like your morning routine although very different from mine, except for the writing. Our dreams grow into words, don’t they?
