For the visually challenged writer, the photo shows a couple embracing in front of a large, illuminated clock, as well as other smaller, x-ray-like images of the mechanical components of clocks.

She knew it was only til midnight that the dream would last—him holding her dancing to music only in her head. Less than two hours of her holding him here in this concoction of purple haze. She thought it odd he seemed completely attentive, his eyes only on her, holding her ever tighter, but that was part of it, part of the spell. She looked up hesitantly to see the reminders all drifting around them—hated harbingers of time.

I woke up with a start this morning and it’s been a long day already. However, progress has been made even though the duster I bought immediately fell apart as I removed it from the cardboard casing. Now it will have to be returned, exchanged, and I’ll have them open it before I take it home.

Other news—I see frost rings around the just turning green newly planted grass and small bushes.😒. I hope it all survives. The gravel surround between my patio and the parking lot is done, dang it. I was hoping for more grass. A few saplings have survived so far but it’s all I can hope for this being a new construction.

I am wishing you all a good day or night wherever you live💛 and thank you for reading and commenting on my scribbles.

“Strange”.

“Unusual”.

“Uncanny”.

“Yes, I certainly agree”, the professor said, as the four of them stared at the oddly scribbled message on the sidewalk entry to the university.

“Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think.”

She loved any drinks that were fizzy

Delighted to start feeling dizzy

It’s our special champagne

The waiter explained

Now get down off the table, Miss Jane.

Looking up to the dark gray color in the cloud and then down to the trenches surrounding him, he searched his mind but found nothing positive.

“Why not come out, you lazy sun, just sitting up there? Are you rejecting what you see? Next you will be shining on our enemy! This earth has been in war for too many years, and yet you forgive the mass kill and suffering, and choose to shine on them alone!

“I wish you wouldn’t use that term.”

“What term? You mean gobsmacked?”

“Yes, of course, you sound like a holdover from the 1930s who has watched too many movies.”

“Well then, my love, I could say your love makes me feel like the cat’s pajamas!”

“Or I could say your body makes me want to groove with you all night at the disco!”

“Now you’re talkin’, right on, baby!”

She dressed a bit provocative,
however it was not evocative
of her mind or personality,
merely a statement of fragility.
Once she started blooming, and noticed certain grooming
enhanced her beauty rare,
it seemed as if they cared.
Parents, friends and even a child,
were drawn into her, wild
to touch the forbidden realm
with none to help or steer her helm.
