This Reader’s Choice post is inspired by the words “rhythm” and “scattered” which had an equal number of votes. A huge thank you to everyone who participated!
life, has a rhythm
moving along tirelessly
lulling me into a sense of stability
a steady rhythm, clicking away
routine, knowledge of what sunrise brings
contentedness…
suddenly snatched away
I am spun in another direction
by something unforeseen
my steady rhythm is gone
blown away in the night
I feel scattered
pieces of myself flung far apart
thoughts come and go
I don’t have a chance to think them…
but then, slowly
my steady rhythm comes back
growing stronger each day
the hum returns
the click of routine
life is in order
my thoughts come and stay
and I think them
I feel all parts of myself
taped together while they heal
and heal they do
contentedness returns
but uncertainties taint my very existence
rhythm is there, but now contains sounds
of life’s ebb and flow
changing direction without notice
life, now, has a scattered rhythm
I love this poem! But WHEN are you going to post more of your writing? We love and miss your work!
Thank you so much! School work has taken over for the time being, but I hope to begin posting again in the near future
Any blog plans for 2019?
Hopefully! Life has gotten busy
So we come to Easter 2019 with no sign of you. I miss you, faint friend, A. On this or the other side of the thin veil, I pray for you. God bless you.
