A Moment in Each Day

Blank eyed, I gaze

Not at anything

But through everything

Blank skies in my head

No clouds of thought

Float today

No ideas sail

Upon the waves of my mind

The ebb and flow of the tide

Momentarily deceased

No shimmer of light graces the surface

No speck of inspiration

Nor reflective motivation

The sun sleeps still

And the moon

Not yet born.

◄ From the plane window to the planes of thought

Thank you so much Juan, I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Think I will have to give The Great Divorce a read.

This is so...I can't find a single word...It reminds me of C.S Lewis' The Great Divorce where some people in purgatory, the grey town, thought that they were witnessing a very long dawn (time just before sunrise) but it was really dusk (the time just before sundown) ...It really is a great poem in my opinion.
