Lingering Ideas

I have to dig
Deep inside
Sound inspiration
Ideas new find
Stuck
A mind
Like a memory chest
Language percolated
Knitting and sewing
Projects pre-occupied
Wordsmithing
Pushed
To the days’ edge

Pushed
To life’s edge
Breathing
Drawn to the play-box
Collecting memories
In a treasure chest
Day to day
We seldom
Have time to reflect
Occasionally
Our minds come to rest
Survival
Greater than an idea kind

Survival
Embracing every day
Life’s gift
Calls me out to play
Sunshine bright
During thunderstorm rain
Spring, Summer, Autumn
In one day
Dark clouds
Fail to linger
Often
Praise songs
Washes away
Lingering heartaches
Mourning pain
