Restless thoughts
spin out like a
thousand tops
With neatly
crossed “t”s
& dotted eyes
Written to pacify
My crowded mind
& nothing to stop
them but the wise
hands of time
And the dream

“Written to pacify
My crowded mind”
If I close my eyes, this looks like scribbled lines on a page to me. I like the passage of time as a way to find the clarity of the blank page.
Thank-you Andrea.
Although sometimes the sight of a blank page can be daunting all by itself.
I love your words. Your poetry is soothing … thank you for sharing.
Thank-you! That means a lot.
ha. there are times i am much the same and put the pen to paper just to bring an ease to my mind and try to center my thoughts…why i always keep a notebook with me as well…hope you slept well there in the end…or perhaps the dream is to write itself…
The dream was to be able to speak fluently without struggle and to advocate for others
was or is? or have you achieved it…or are you achieving it now?
Well I found my written voice. Spoken is not as strong.
I absolutely dig this…yeah…pacify tha mind…gud stuff
