Quick Thought

Short poem

There are no stains on this tattered edge of my mind,
where single strands fray out, leaving the pattern.
And as I cling to this bit of clarity, I'm swinging my legs, 
building up momentum in an attempt to rustle the curtain 
and let some light in.

trying to find more clarity.. haha good luck!

[mattavelli]

Haha, I'm looking for that state of mind where those big questions are explained.

[marcus]

I can get to the state of mind to ask the big questions, but if you can get to the state of mind to have them explained..s**t.. I think YOU may be god!

[mattavelli]

I think we are god, Marcus. We've just lost the instructions... Haha

[marcus]

I never read the instructions anyway.

[mattavelli]

Haha, ya. Figuring it out is part of the fun.

Sometimes you have to keep swinging those legs until you're ready to leap.

[mattavelli]

Thanks, Cherry. A Pepperweb trampoline might help.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

I shall spin a bouncy web for you. :)

[mattavelli]

Thanks! How long do they last?

[Cherry Pepperweb]

A lifetime.

[mattavelli]

Great! Can you make two facing each other? I'd like bounce back and forth for a while.

[Cherry Pepperweb]

With a swoosh of my wand
A wrinkle of nose
I wiggle fingers
Stand upon tippy toes

Your wish has been granted
Two bouncy webs for you
To bounce back and forth
For a while or for two

[mattavelli]

Thanks :) I'm ready to get dizzy.

[Cherry Pepperweb]
