Most days my mind is blue
But today it is vexed
Troubled by immanent change
Directions
Altered paths
Enforced
For my good
Allegedly.
So my mind
Is motley
Of colour
No clear shape
For anxiety does that
When confronted
With the unknown.
Red I donβt like
It stresses me
Too many things happening
A new decade reached
The future vague
Uncertain
Keeping body and soul
Together a priority
Pills, pills and more pills.
But above all else
Towering way above
Is LOVE
I feel loved everyday
Unworthy as I am
I must embrace it
Rejoice within its folds
As my balance
Lies there,
Settling the riot
Inside my mind
Returning me to blue.

Really complex, like the heart and mind in dialogue, weighing all the balances of life. π π
Thanks Helen, yes it is, and the heart will eventually win so to speak. This is an anxious time and the poem was an expression of that, but always i see hope and belief as winning out over that.
That’s the best philosophy I think, but it’s always important to acknowledge the doubt and fear because that’s the way one finds solutions around the issues, rather than hiding them and having them take on gigantic proportions in the dark! Change is exciting, but it’s also a bit scary!! π π
Terrifying and exciting all at the same time i think…that’s why I am looking forward to it, and its going to push me way out of my comfort zone….and that’s going to be a good thing…
Tsk Tsk shame on you for ever thinking you are unworthy!!! Yes an anxious time, a time when doubt creeps in of what your life will beβ¦but a time to reflect on what you have done and accomplished and the opportunities that await you. Be brave my friend – think sky blue not a deep blue. x
Always sky blue Jenny. Thank you.
(hugs) you’re welcome my friend
I am Yves K. Morrow encase you wonder about the tweet. This is absolutely outstanding work as Helen said very complex, very profound
Thank you and you come up as mlm on here. And thank you for that generous comment.
You seem to capture what you feel quite well in your art & in your words. Looks like your mind has lots going on in there. Take it easy & let love take over π
Thanks RoSy, that’s the plan, to let love flow…
