Scented candles waxing my thoughts tonight As I silently sit alone in this darkened room Waiting for a brilliant thought that just might Enchant my senses or possibly and entirely consume My vividly taunting, hopeless imagination A memory once paused perhaps might resume Music drifting softly into the quiet night And my curious thoughts pound hard inside my mind Staring blankly into the gentle candlelight Mesmerized by its burning beauty, I begin to unwind Whirling thoughts begin to creep... I'm drifting Away into another world, another time, I rewind Fuzzy images dancing around within my head Sounds and feelings and things left unsaid play Over and over again and again... one more time And then another, some memories never do go away People, places, things I've done, now a memory But I am whole, I'm here, I breathe.... and I'm okay -Bonny 2006
