When working on two hours sleep every night for a week, it's amazing where the mind and imagination will fly off to. I thank you ever so much my friend for your lovely comment! ~Sharon

Dead men don't wear plaid? Being of Irish heritage I might have to differ with you. LOL
Those distant thunders and their echoes do make off with our peace and serenity. Sleep deprivation becomes the norm where we stay up thinking and thinking and even worrying. An excellent haunting write...:)........

True words written.
"Dead men dream no dreams
upon their pillows
tightly stuffed....
hiding secrets in the dark."
The above lines are haunting and true. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry. I did like this one.
