January Chill

 

The crystal moon is reflecting the golden warmth of the sun in the chill of a January night, where sirens scream and the wind howls in pain at crimes against the homeland of every creature, living and unborn, while my mind is yet journeying beyond the present state of affairs to the valley of wonder; and I wonder about the care with which one I love is taking to ensure a happy reunion when time and place permit themselves to be used by us for such a purpose.  It isn't at all strange to hear or tell of things requiring a sympathetic heart and a leaning toward the romantic on shores of endless memories and wings of careless lust, flying into the face of our fantasies, living out the parts we've created for ourselves, adding in the detail with the brush of our passion and the paint of our desire, spilling none, wasting less, putting to full use our powers as creator of this scene, star of this play.  And then, returning to the present, the scene is over, the book is closed, placed into the library of our subconscious for future reference.
