CANDY FLOSS DREAMS (a sonnet exercise)

Disturbed was I in pensive mood this morn

pacing the terraced floor with furrowed brow

Imaginary thoughts through unrest born

had invaded my privacy somehow

Unspoken burdens from unseen shadows

in a field of kaleidoscopic doubt

played inside my throat in between swallows

drying emptiness within and without

And then felt I the most gentle whisper

spoken by a voice from the clouds above

It turned my eyes to gaze up in wonder

And coursed through I a delightful shiver

Lo nature's display of pockets of love

My Candy floss dreams alive in splendour
