My Brain Went To Mush

 What’s it all about 

Tethers and stretchers 

Feeling the pain 

Must we go on

Hitting the wall over and over

Must we go on

Sinking in the mud

Must we go on 

Hoping for that rainbow 

Sky clears as the clouds 

        push off to the south 

Light fills my eye

Sun on a fading glow 

My brain went to mush

        and back again 

Thoughts clear like the sky

Rainbow lands me safely home 

Missing

  

A page is ripped out of my journal 

Was it a note or poem 

A laundry list of to do’s 

Maybe a love song 

My mind drifts off

In the lost poem/words/lists

Written but now lost

Can’t be a poem to a lover

I have none

Childhood doesn’t hold 

words written 

Aim to capture the image 

All dissipated 

In the missing page
