Be Gentle

in the wee small hours;
as the ragged end of desperation
splits and re-splits:
at the end of your tether;
as the rug is pulled asunder
and the world tilts askew:
when the voices become
too loud to block out (or keep in)
and you think youre going postal:
distract yourself with a snails pace
or a petals curve;
a sparrows flight into the
cool winds of suspension,
and breathe again, for me.

Nice one Spike.
"too loud to block out (or keep in)"
Been there, done that!!
Love the ending, especially "a petal's curve;"
such a petite, indeed gentle distraction.
What more could one ask for?
Take care
elle :) |

Hi,
Straight to the point - breathe in the simple
pleasures - all else fades.

"distract yourself with a snail’s pace
or a petal’s curve"
This was the most interesting line to me. Are you speaking of distracting yourself using time and beauty? |
