Random Lines Etched in My Notebook
What if we cut the beam of communication
 The cord of contact that is texting?
 Open skies are as open as my arms
 I am rooted to the land
 Home.
 The rural highlands dip and dive
 Carved by the raw wind.
 Rain beats down in two-four time
 Nature is musical.
 Factories of the earth 
 Spew out dreams
 Propellers are turned by determination.
 I feel connected when I walk through
 A misty field
 The stinging nettles 
 Brushing against my skin.
 The frosty mist shrouds the city.
 Interesting how grey clouds and
 Hazy rain
 Instil one feeling
 And sunshine can create another.
 There is a one-letter difference between
 "Lonely"
 and 
 "Lovely"
 Thoughts are transferred from one mind to another
 Through words.
 I shield myself from pressure
 With a bubble.
 My eyelashes frame my eyes
 Protecting my vision from a cloud of dust
 Formed by society
 Don't pull out my eyelashes
 Don't pull out my feelings. 
 
 A creative bolt strikes
 Two wires connect
 The thought is made,
 The pen writes
 The notebook is enhanced with collective wonder.
