Poetic Musings, Stream of Thought

Gathering

I suppose staying in bed until noon counts as sleeping in, but it sure feels like I could sleep for days on end.

Rousted out of the house by my youngling’s labored coughing, I did not feel safe from viral intake – and thus yielded to their inhabiting.

Out and about, interacting with community, the sluggishness of thought makes me feel removed from connecting.

A strawberry mint and golden oregano – then a semi-dwarf donut peach found for gracing my youngling’s window.

The large area rug we are all fond of and a small TV stand with wheels to glide on met me this morning before I said, “Anon!”

I am still on quest for a long hallway runner to help the hound’s speed no longer flounder.

Regaining Balance

My youngling has been sick and spending time with a friend, who is also sick from the coworker who brought it to their workplace a few days ago.

We miss each other greatly and are too long overdue on our popcorn-and-movie binging.

But, they are trying to stay away from me as I am already fatigually compromised.

I appreciate this because lately I have been feeling like I am just dodging and weaving a next catastrophe.

I need time and space to resettle into my bones and reboot my confidence.

Where The Clouds Fly

He looked back at her, gasping a bit to catch his breath as her gaze carressed his flush-cheeked face and delighted excitement dancing in his eyes.

Reaching out his hand for her to climb up steadily beside him, he drew her into his arms as the crisp mountain air flicked whispily through their hair.

Held warm and secure, she was able to stabilize the internal anxiety that had plagued with every winding step they had taken, leading them to this magical place.

She hated how much fear kept weighing on her psychology – and looking up at him as he kissed her dashingly, she had thought that she could never love him more.

Yet, every day, his enthusiasm for life and her craving it within him stoked their fires higher.

When Nothing More

Ambling…

Shuffling…

More of a zombie thing, than coherency.

Embarrassed she had stressed at the overtaxed pharmacist – who also was vexed that he voiced his whirling thoughts out loud.

He had innovated well on their behalf.

She knew she should not be in public like this – caught in a sinkhole from exploded adrenals.

People patterns pervaded and criss-crosssd verbatim.

Vitamins and nourishment.

Flowers and the sky.

The Crush

She kept waiting for the pressure to ease, but it didn’t.

Climbing at higher elevations, it was easier to lie down flat and let the heavens pass across her than it was to stand up and keep going.

This must mean that she was ascending – but it felt like she was dying.

All of the rules and regulations: she couldn’t navigate their impressions.

She wanted to be in love by having found her soulmate.

She wanted to have more children and experience their thriving.

She wanted to live and breathe and stretch into the open air – without having to continuously care that she never had and continued to not fit others’ preset expectations.

She belonged with a tribe that believed as she did.

But, maybe she was among the first of them.

Maybe it was better to rest and wait for them.

If she let them catch up, then tomorrow she might see and could greet them.

Heaven’s View

The prized unit was perched on the edge of the curving lane which passed the pool upon entering the small group of condominiums and crossed an upper loop of the golf course which traced a large pond with ducks, cooties, reeds, and black swans – depending on the season.

As she grew to maturity, she wondered what it would be like to have it bequethed to her after their passing, for she loved this home dearly and was the first born of their grandchildren.

But this was not to be. It was given to her uncle who sold it for the brief gain of money.

Mind Tricks

In these vast echo chambers of a catacombed mind, to hear myself lost and alone in the darkness was frightening.

But even worse was when I became awsre of it – and then they became aware of me and came scurry-crawling in their eagerness to feed.

Dark abominations of imagination came greeting to where I’d been cast after the garden was closed to me by my own hand’s sealing.

A child’s attempt to divert trauma walled off normal relating.

Homecoming

My now father was looking up college options for me after our discussing how I could return to working for him.

(I won’t – for I am free now, and there is a “whole world” to explore!)

He does care aboit my happiness and knows how I value continuous learning.

I was surprised that he found a less expensive art degree program for me. I guess that he has learned what I enjoy and was trying to show me.

With the vexation from not being able to finish my enviro science degree and past dreams already expressed in missing my music peer connecting, Art, I suppose, was the other aspect not fully acknowledged in me.

The problem is that most of these degrees do not contain content that appeals or applies directly to my curiosity.

After a long-haul-month of networking to get my business noticed, my dreams reveal what my adrenals are saying.

I need decompression by artistic expression and a sense of connection with my family.

Snowflake

One perfect icicle star suspended between fine glass plates in a locket created a photo session in a packed classroom of college-aged students as I tried to capture it in light before it melted.

The professor agrieved “What has happened to my life? There is nothing to live for.” – which stirred compassion inside, wondering how I could help him.

As he approached to conviscate my camera, I scrolled hastily, worried how the photos had captured so many faces in the background.

As I began erasing some taken of the professor, there was one that drew me in and led me back into the past.

He was running down a parkside stairwell, calling out with distressed joy as his arms opened wide to embrace his dark-haired granddaughter who ran to him.

“Kifka! Kifka!” Eyes streaming tears as he hugged her tightly to him, overcome by emotion.

Soon after, a man joined me in viewing the dream of the professor giving him a sachel of toy cars as a child – and I realized that the little girl had had a blond-haired brother.
