Sp...Poem written in response to Prompt #19 - Body<br /> <br />Spinning bodily around downtown<br />chasing the rat race among the<br />Crowded alone ("with no particular<br />Place to go?"): the body seeking -<br />The mind subsequently reeling - needing<br />A quiet place to alight (a bench, say;<br />Or a comfortable, soft easy chair in<br />Some out-of-the-way little cafe): does<br />The body mind the mind - or is the mind<br />Now minding the body?<br /><br />Finally the body decides (weary of <br />Traveling, whirling around and around in<br />a madcap frenzy, circular-nonsensically, rapidly going down that "road to nowhere")...<br /><br />And now -<br />A chair;<br />At last -<br />Relief!<br />Ah, yes; that's good: give<br />The soul (and the two, worn-<br />Down soles, besides) a chance<br />To rest...and you to breathe...<br />Sit down: take a load off...and<br />(Gazing through the nearby window,<br />Now, up towards the top of the <br />Towering glass-and-steel office <br />Building across the street...and <br />On into the drifting, high and<br />Hazy clouds beyond)...now (finally)...<br />The thoughts drift up...<br />into the loftier heights of soul...<br /><br />- T.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
