If you think then wake up at 2am and try not to wake anybody because that whisper woke you up
You are walking and you hope you have a pen or cell phone near by to jot an idea down
You are driving and Alexa isn't cooperating even though she usually does
Artificial intelligence might help us out when our input and output don't jive
You’re flying and you almost miss the fasten your seat belts call for landing
Been there and done that?
It's all about the words at least for me

Writing In General

Words flow like waterfalls and sometimes trickle
They call out to you at the strangest times and laugh behind your back when the creativity sparks at an inopportune time
Need I identify it, you know exactly where I am coming from
No matter your genre, the muses have a time and place and then again
They have a great time all at once or nothing at all
Being a writer isn't always understood and then a reader comments about what you wrote here or anywhere
You made them think, cry, laugh or shake their heads in wonder
It is a gift you possess
Writing in general is a treasure so keep that close to your heart the next time the paper laughs back when you don't have words to fill it up or the computer freezes

If You Fall Asleep In My Arms

If you fall asleep in my arms
Rocked ever so gently
Letting go of what is over
Holding on to promises kept and memories yet to be fulfilled
We will make more
Making sure that darkness will soothe you and the stars will be a night light
Letting you dream peacefully and comfortably
We can only move forward now
What was is over
Not looking back
Just want you to rest, recover and sleep easily
Love you,but not loving you tonight or in the near future until you are ready again
Remember how we arrived here and where we have yet to go
If you fall in my arms
Pleasant dreams because the nightmare is over and in check
If you fall asleep in my arms

Conversations
Narratives
Repressed
Observed
Are these challenges?
Random
Even if they are not
What do you expect or should you?
Embrace them and enjoy
While you can and are able
Random
Luck
Just show them that you can do it and do it well
Random?

Without You

You kept me entertained on many stormy days in my life recently
Talking didn't help me
Your acrobatics and sweet way of moving about would warm anyone's soul as long as they keep their distance
You are cute and sweet with shades of blue, white, black and silver and gray
Love nuts and fruit accepting what humans leave for you
On days when crying was all I could do without you a smile would never come to my face

Knowing Your Heart

How it beats
Who it beats for
Your passion
Your strength
How to treat it when it heals and breaks
Remember wounds that run deep
Knowing your heart and my love goes with you
