Destiny - My Thoughts on Haruki Murakami

Dance Dance Dance

At this moment, I’m reading my sixth novel by Haruki Murakami, Dance, Dance, Dance, and loving it, just as I’ve loved all of his novels.  He puts everything anyone could want into his stories, and more.  I can’t stress, “And more” enough.

We all dream, that’s a given, but how many of us make it a conscious effort to remember?  I honestly think Murakami does!  Every story he writes comes through with both profound thought, and lyrical verse. 

Thinking in a dream vacuum isn’t so unusual, especially when you’re writing poetry, it’s snippets of time presented in a verse, but, when I read Murakami's words, I wonder if those dreams of mine could flow as easily as his, in the way he places them so delicately within reality.  I can't. 

I truly believe he’s a genius, when it comes to making sentences dance.  I can feel his beat, I can follow his steps, and holding onto each of his words is like falling in love.  Give Haruki Murakami a try, he’s an amazing story teller.

Destiny 

I was falling free, floating in and out of a dream, when I heard knocking at my door
My mind was drawing circles in space
trying to capture
your face
soon to touch
my core
I held the door open, you fell into me
into love
profound destiny
