- Go to Hopeless Prayer
Re: NiteTide
Hi Mindy. Things in my life are going well, thank you so much for asking. My muse just spoke to me of all the people in the world, throughout history, who have been in hopeless situations, and how the lives that they dream must surely be the only thing in their lives that are not filled with despair. Thanks as always for your kind remarks. Its so good to have you back and reading/writing/commenting.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray to drown in dreaming sleep,
If what is real I can't remake,
I pray to die before I wake.

Hopeless maybe, yes ~ but heartfelt search and awareness --- this is powerful and its emotion is raw and palpable.
