Working the Mind


In cavernous hole

Through shadowed crannies

Passed cogs woven with webs through time; locked

Light emerges…

The Mind awakens

Poised, fingers wait in anticipation

For the writing to recommence.

          No, I’m fine, thanks… just finding it a little hard to get back into a regular blogging routine. I’ll get there soon, I think.

      CM, I have to apologise for the state of the place, especially the cobwebs… they’re taking a good while to clear.

        No apologies necessary, Tom! πŸ™‚ I happen to enjoy cobwebs, spiderwebs, interwebs… and just in time for Oktoberweenfest! πŸ™‚

          And there are loads of them around here in real life, CM! I’m always managing to pass my face through them! πŸ•Έ πŸ•· 😳

    Yay! I love the build up of the colours – like climbing out of a pit (I know the feeling).
    Enjoying your Wattpad stories, meantime Tom!

      Thanks, Chris. I’m following on from Paul’s example and expanding my Universe over there. I’ll soon have so many incomplete stories to return to and add a line or two to, things will undoubtedly begin to grow (or get very complicated and confusing!) Braccaneerring at its best!
      I’ve added a link to Wattpad on my Storylines page, for ease of access!

        So pleased you’re writing again, Tom 😁 …and following Paul’s lead… something I apparently suggested over coffee and cake, though I’d forgotten! I shall pop over and read your story with my mid-morning coffee β˜•Meanwhile, I have a bit of re-jigging to do on the final chapters of my novel due to over-enthusiastic Braccanneering.

          It is a good use of WP (the other WP, not this one!), Chris, and it keeps everything together separately, if you know what I mean.
          I’ve fuddled my mind this morning, so I’ve decided to have a couple more hours sleep!
          Oh, and yes… I think there should be at least one new word created daily! πŸ™‚

    It will come. I’ve had two year and five year periods without writing, and then something triggered me and the juices started flowing again. The trick is not to sweat it.

      I’m sure it will, Tilly. It doesn’t feel quite the right time to return fully just yet, but I keep popping in often. I’m sure I’ll be back soon…

      My pleasure, Jo. I saw your like on someone else’s post this morning when I popped into the Reader for a second, and remembered you saying you were starting a new blog, so had to refollow you lest I forget. I’ll be popping by properly soon… Happy Saturday!
