Introspection On A Summer Day
Escape from self imposed cell to live a
summer’s day
Entire sky, powder blue, fluffy white,
flower scented
Leaves rustle, turn upon themselves in
the wind
Mind roams actively in clear bright
light
Yearnings, yens, yes’s and no’s,
filtered and refined
Settled in lush grass, more delicious
than heaven’s clouds
Every sense attuned, calm embrace, soft
heart
Long introspective looks into past
memories
Fights, frustrations, paths chosen, and
not
Delusion of the self a true crime of
one’s life
Impossible turns possible, unthinkable
becomes thinkable
Clear recognition, wry ironic smile
forms with beliefs onset
Altered reality, companion of a
sardonic chuckle
Nuances of a fresh consciousness rest
the burden
Fractured facets align, coalesce, bring
peaceful waves
Intrusive disturbances examined,
accepted with a shrug
Elusive needs follow the passing of a
promise
Inroads were made, direction of soul
still unresolved
Nearing the end of this afternoon’s
flight of truth
God, I’ve seen enough, given
enough, give me peace
