Travellin' on

I look at the overcast skies,

where the flock of geese in flight,

seem to herald a sudden rain…

Like my heart,

that has been a little heavy

over the last few days.

I have wanted to release

my own flood of tears and

share my stirrings with

someone near;

but the busy pace of every-day life,

keeps me from untying the knots

within me!

Somehow, the past seems to

have left the taste of a day old

coffee within me,

and I sip it just a little to keep me

attached to what was yesterday.

I travel on

to the ring of an inner bell,

which reminds me

of my daily grind…

and quickly, I put on

my plastic smile,

that brings on the sunshine again.
