Drifting in a Fever

Somewhere in a haze of fever

I thought I was in cyberspace once more,

full of ideas for new blogs and images,

ready to absorb – waiting.

In reality, I was involved in my own fiction,

dreaming but not dreaming,

hot, then cold, then dizzy and

back in space again –drifting.

It might have been the flu or some other

unknown virus

taking its toll on creativity

but with its own kind of joy in recovery.

I am emerging from that semi-transparent, sometimes

murky place of seemingly endless illness,

appetite for life returning,

appetite for food returning,

and I don’t think I’ve lost a pound!
