Homing Pigeon
Hello there brain,
Star-crossed lover,
What are you thinking?
Time to fly south for the winter?
You haven’t left in forever!
Finally sick of icy precipitation
weeping between the cracks?
Of defective affection,
Numb around the edges.
My mantra a soliloquy,
Inhale or exhale,
I still can’t breathe.
Negativity seems to breed malady.
Positivity begets felicity.
Leave dim raw broken behind
Spread dusty wings
And relearn how to fly!
Gasp warm rays of welcome words,
Tender hues of joyful thoughts.
Oh to feel the freedom of daydreams!
Spiritual saturation of the sanguine!
My thawed out feathered head
Ascending past storm clouds
Homebound again.
