Chapter 108: Ego - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

108: Ego

Listen to that song

‘A day without me’

Noise 

Canceling 

On

Completely Feral 

Not as loyal anymore 

Or

Just

Not as Blind

I’m Stitching Together 

The Scraps

To make a Life

Now

If you don’t mind 

My song 

Is calling

Chapter 107: Your Emotional Landscape - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

107: Your Emotional Landscape 

An Ark

For words

Acceptance 

Renewal 

Journey Forth

Break Habits

Renovate

Your Emotional Landscape 

Dare

To purge 

Data

Driven

By Subconsciously Derived 

Jewels 

Set

Under pressure 

To make you A Boat 

Full

Of

Diamonds 

Chapter 106: True Eyes - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

106: True Eyes

Hatched

From An egg

Laid

In a cave

All I remember Now 

Is 

A lot of Heat

And maybe 

Some Scales 

Having left The Darkness 

And only after My

Letting in the Light 

Really letting it All

Sink in

I saw Everything 

With 

My own

True

Eyes

Chapter 105: You’ve Emptied the Basin - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

105: You’ve Emptied the Basin

I put a spigot in

To let Everything 

Ooze Out

I thought 

It would come 

Out as work

Maybe style 

Song?

Paint?

All that

Falls From this tap

Are words

These Lil Impish 

Splashes

Curves

And Slashes

To Help Cure

The Imbalance

The Hot

The Cold

The Rubbish

The Good

And More

Get some Sleep 

Breathe a Sigh

You’ve Emptied the Basin

For now

Chapter 104: Luck - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

104: Luck

Luck 

Could Come up

And bite me

I would 

Turn it away 

Undeserving 

Under serving 

What?

My 

Purpose is 

Was

And

Should Be

Shhhhhhhhh

Universe 

Stop Giving out Gifts

Quit

Laying out Opportunities 

Easter eggs

Clues

And Breadcrumbs 

I won’t take ‘em

I’ve Been Trained

Ruthlessly Conditioned

To Be

Without 

Anything Designated 

As

Special 

Chapter 103: Before The Invention Of Song

 

103: Before The Invention Of Song

We Sat Motionless 

In 

A Sea

Of 

Thick Water 

No 

Flavor 

Just

A 

Viscous Void

Disabling Disasters 

One 

Disembodied Phrase

After another 

Endless 

Breathing 

Sounding 

Like Waves 

Begging For interruption 

Some ship

Or

Independent Vessel 

To deposit 

This

Perpetual 

Abyss 

Chapter 102: Miles From Home - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

102: Miles From Home

Traveled

So far

Miles

From Home

Worn out

Soles

And 

Souls

No point 

In struggling 

You’ll 

Only 

Sink

Faster

Chapter 101: Moving Violations - The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

101: Moving Violations 

You’ve had Dreams About this 

Riding along 

In Your Subconscious

Moving Violations 

Tucked In

For The Evermore 

In

The recesses Of your brain 

Handfuls 

Of chemicals

Genetically 

Inclined 

To navigate 

The Truck-Beast

Careening 

Towards 

The cliff

Hanging 

Endings 

That

Every Moment

Of 

Every Day

When Things get Hot 

We get bothered 

Feels like 

A Volcano 

Inside 

Angry Footsteps 

Coming our way 

Heartbeat 

Mimics

Ears ringing 

Strip it all down to nothing 

On a peaceful 

Sunday Morning 

Everyone 

Doesn’t do this

I see Those who do

Thru the windscreen 

That drives us

In these

Moving Violations 

Chapter 100: The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

100:

Deafening 

Silence 

At

The speed 

Of light 

All 

Or 

Nothing 

Right here 

Right now 

True colors 

Opinions 

Judgment 

Every day 

Same story 

Chapter 99: The Mind Wanderers Handbook

 

99:

Writing it all down 

Never 

Enough 

Energy 

To turn these screws

Into songs

With voice

It runs to

so fast

So far

So quickly 

Even tho

The words

Are so

Effervescent 

They should be 

Enough 

To breathe life into

To get me 

From 

Pain 

To 

Pain 

Emotion 

To emotion

Like 

A bedside 

Vase

Full of blooms... 

Beginning of July Garden Break 2021

 Nature says

Hey- I’ve got this

Bee Balm

The gift

That keeps on giving 

Ghost Pipes

I should go looking for more

Fungi today

Our wee wild raspberries 

Solar lights putting on their show

This clump of lilies glow so bright at night 

We have 3 volunteer clusters of Black Eyed Susan’s now

The Phoebe Birds had their second 

Round of Babies 

Yay!

Wild Buttercup 

When I was wishing for 

Queen Anne’s Lace…

I didn’t realize it would be this big!

Thanks Nature!

The Fairies 

Windowbox

And just spotted amongst the wild grasses 

And false buckwheat…

A petunia? 

Where’d you come from???

Oh hello Speedwell!

I love these lil mottled 

Spikes that peek out here and there 

Throughout the edges of all the spaces…

Get ready for more poems later…

It’s another rainy day here… 

What are you up to?

Oh- have you been over to the YouTube … 

More Garden Highlights are waiting…
