Taking my mind
off my mind
for a second.
Trying to breathe
with these trees
in their vestments
of deep green
and relieve
this anxious
feeling which keeps
trying to haunt me.
I’m feeling thin,
two dimensional.
Just a shade
fading quickly
in the sunlight.
I’ve been away.
Not feeling
quite myself today,
so I’m going in
on everything,
because time
is just a question
of life.
Taking my mind
off my mind
for a second.
Opening me,
my heartfelt beliefs,
everything is examined
and throw away
the detritus
that has drifted in.
Make whole
once more
this living being.
Take control,
instead
of letting everything
fall into the
inevitable
disrepair.
Not standing still,
but not in the running,
coming for the kill.
So exuberant
the feeling
of being clean.
So exultant
the feeling
of being free.
Taking my mind
off my mind
for a second.
Dwelling in the interlude
instead
of this constant confusion.
