On A Bad Day I Can See Forever



After the day is done
I am still searching for the light
head tilting towards Orion
waiting on the inevitable conclusion



In the vortex of tornado thoughts
my vinegar blood pushes the heart to pound
fingers tapping keys, looking for a lost word
in a sea of incomplete

The peat moss of my recent poems
dampens the day in a hushed PROTECT

It's the silly-putty way of moving on
one foot to the left, one to the right.... of wrong
I am just a Slinky crashing down
the treadless stairs


Recently I came upon a clear thought
like winter it hung too heavy
I sat tight wishing it gone
waiting on the spring to spring me
into some other life where the air
is light, fresh, and clean

The Cardinals snap the berries
I wonder why they too have not gone South
I'm brimming to the rim with contradictions

Yesterday, I was quite contrary
There's not time today to explain
It's far too late to change it anyway

Each day brings its load of details and more important things, and we have to go on. Whatever our mood is made of the day will pass.

Beautifully penned, Andy, really enjoyed that there's no end.

Andy,

I know this path, it is one I tread. You appear to have a complexed life, a mind that like mine, struggles to cope with all the traffic along the way.As to looking to Orion.When he shines upon my beloved harbour, the soul I crave soars to the stars and know no bounds.

Excellent write,

Paul.

Paul, it's not really my life that's complex
is the guy who is living it, I'm afraid.

Thanks for stopping in1

Appreciate your comments.

"The Cardinals snap the berries

I love reading your heart through your words. I won't pretend that all you write makes sense to me, but I can't deny that even when my mind doesn't always wrap around it, my soul finds comfort in it. Some very wise friend once told me that anything worth having was never easy... I suppose contradictions may not always be bad then. But... South does sound good. Love you. *hug*

LOL1 Shalah, I don't make much sense
to anyone besides myself sometimes so
that's just fine.

in. Talk to you in a few hours.
