Kym- Thanks so much for sharing this. I particularly love your poem here: "I turn away
to take out my camera. They feel too important and too beautiful to miss." It is so stunning. And very on-point. I hope you had a chance to recapture the 'too beautiful' recently?
It's so lovely to meet you this afternoon, Kym. I always find it interesting that some of the best writing I'll ever do was in the middle of the night when sleep was nowhere to be found...
The poem is so lovely. The end kind of caught me off guard, and I really like how it circles back to the title with a kind of hopeful sadness (though I don’t know if sadness is the right word).
Thanks so so much! Yes I didn't want a neat resolution because often my thoughts just so that - fly away again and are hard to get back because my mind is filled to the brim 🙈 and yes the title came to me and I thought, yep that's it. Because sometimes the thoughts do come back again later. Does it break the magic of I overexplain? 🙈

Thanks so much for your kind words, Thalia! Thankfully most flitting thoughts eventually make their way back to me so that I can write them down :)
It sure takes some disciple, one that I still have much to learn, Kym- 🤓

I think it's because all our other senses are quietened by the dark and the lack of noise! Love to meet you too Linda!
Beautiful words and photos, Kym!!
Thanks so much Stacy!

Not at all! I really enjoy hearing about the process and thoughts behind poems.
Kym, this is beautiful! Thank you for your kind words. But, wow, I love what has been percolating quietly in the dark. Keep going!! 💛💛
I know... I didn't think I had it in me but there you go 😁 thanks so much for reading and sharing and writing your own poetry too!
