Off the cuff: Spring Song


 In my head

All we hear

The changling

And I

Are the operatic

Overtures

Of a bouquet 

Of brightly colored birds

While breezes

Fill in

For tiny

Timpani 

Pushing branches 

Into their dance

Chapter 80: Me or You - The Mind Wanderers Handbook


80: Me or You 


There was a time 


When 


I had 


My own 


Personal 


Hostage 


I could've 


Released them 


Whenever


I wanted 


Keeping 


Them


Quiet


And 


Comfortable 


Was 


All I ever wanted 


Needed


Wanted 


Needed


They


Never thought 


About being 


Saved 


Until 


Enough 


Time passed 


It was


Then


Understood 


That 


No one 


Was coming 


For them

79:


Keep 


Reaching back 


For 


Something 


That was


Someone 


Who was


Forward 


Momentum 


The 


Only Choice 


Watch 


Where 


You are Going 


Mourn 


Only the Now


That is


The thing 


You are wasting

Here or thar

Chapter 77: Crooked Bow - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 




77: Crooked Bow


Starting out 


With a single 


Angle 


With 


Dreams 


Straight ahead 


Till you 


Picked me up 


And 


Tried me out 


With 


Your 


Crooked bow


Falling short 


Again 


And again 


After 


Every 


Pull 


Back 


All I can see 


Is the view 


In front of me 


A thousand 


New


Targets 


With 


A prize 


In every pack


I’ll be 


A hapless 


Clown 


Stunned 


And 


On the ground 


After 


You’ve been through 


With 


Your 


Crooked bow

Wondering 


Or


Failing to ask


Small


Insect


In a web


No more

With 


A little help 


From


Winged


Friends 


Caught up 


In familiar 


Talons


Of


Eros

Chapter 76: Wishes & Premonitions - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 



76: Wishes & Premonitions 


Sages 


Been 


Burning for ages 


Candles 


Tapered 


Down to the ground 


In


The distance 


A storm approaches


I have called 


For 


The guidance 


To learn


Pathways 


New to me


Ascension 


Summoned 


At will


Rise 


Rise 


Rise 


From below 


Wishes 


&


Premonitions 


Over 


I’m over 


It’s over 


And above you 


Chemistry 


Over alchemy 


Tea cups 


Showing the map


Control 


Was never 


A factor 


From 


The four corners 


Comes 


The strength 


Forged from fire


Flames rose higher


Rise 


Rise 


Rise 


From below


Wishes 


&


Premonitions 


Over


I’m over 


It’s over 


And beyond you 

Chapter 74: Turned Away - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 



74: Turned Away 


Loosing 


Sleep


Pace 


To keep


In place 


Of care


In place 


Of where


The love goes


Same sky 


Makes 


No difference 


Weather 


Is cloudy 


No matter 


How 


The love goes


So 


I set the table 


Invited 


Them in


We feasted 


On 


Your words


Then 


Turned away

Of filters

The penny


Was 


Tossed


Is more


Room 


Than I’d ever 


Been used 


To having 


No 


Wonder 


I don’t want to leave

Chapter 72: Ocean - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 



72: Ocean


The heavy weight 


Of an entire ocean 


Sits on me


As I 


Lay here 


At the bottom 


Of the sea


When 


I say jump


People jump me


When 


I speak words 


People hear nothing 


Is this


Ocean 


Only a lake


Rumors 


Flooding in


Living 


At 


The bottom 


Of this body 


You fool


Just shut up
