Poem 26

art 13

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 don’t 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.

  1. Really complex, like the heart and mind in dialogue, weighing all the balances of life. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    • 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!! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

      • 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…

  2. 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 be…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

  3. I am Yves K. Morrow encase you wonder about the tweet. This is absolutely outstanding work as Helen said very complex, very profound

  4. 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 πŸ™‚
