Brain fog

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us. Henri Matisse

Brain fog and webbing words

I want to tie the sounds together

to let them ring and bump and sizzle

a firework of sparkling whistles

to grow into a being,

to string them in a lace of senses

 

give them colour in a foreign tale,

telling about smelling and singing

a song about courageous fellows

goblins, gnomes and trolls or upside down

helter-skelter and turn around

 

I want to swim and dive in teary rivers,

roaring in an overwhelming laughter

and afterwards a tenderly and softly fondling

just learn to kiss and love

to write with them for ever and ever.

So much goes through a writer's mind that it is difficult sometimes to quell the noise long enough to organize the cacophony of sounds into meaningful thoughts which we then interpret for emotional values before creating words and sentences in order to shed light on those original thoughts. I enjoyed this piece very much and like how you weave the senses throughout as they help capture the very way in which we eventually create a piece worth sharing. A nice write Rudi! - FT

You give me too much credit, Dale, but I'm flattered. I've heard the term Brain fog and something clicked and from one word they came a sentence and so on. I didn't know even the term existed in a whole other meaning (disease of the brain). I hope my brain fog isn't a disease. Thanks for all those beautiful comments. Have a fine day. :) Rudi

I live it!! Great writing; but I do know what you mean: I can be alone, look at the stars, words are perfect, interesting, flow, etc. I use to carry a recorder; maybe I'll pull it back out: Now I'm laughing: for certain my words will not sound like yours; but I get it. It could be STRESS! Have a great day. Going to eat; rest a little while; then begin my cleaning again; Hane's happy: I'm happy...Thank you -:Dale

Our clouded foggy brains, yes I can totally relate! Fantastic write and
creative, to go with a gorgeous picture, you did it again my friend!
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

Thank you, James. I've heard the term in Dutch 'Hersenmist' and I did find it such a beautiful word that I made a poem about it. Afterwards, I've searched on the Internet if that word really exists and indeed Brain fog exists. In fact, it's a disease, but my poem is not about that disease but about creating something out of that foggy cloud in my brain. :) Rudi
