Muse in the Morning

By Robyn in Art, Community, Poetry

Muse in the Morning

Imagining the Pain Away

Floating beneath a sea of pain

Focusing

on the point

where the pain

seemed to reside

I aimed my thoughts

to move that point

through my body

to a locus

an inch or two

off the tip

of my nose

where it would hurt

no longer

Wouldn’t it be grand

if our collective

consciousness

could cause

a similar effect

on the blights

humans have inflicted

on this planet?

Tin Ear

Tinnitus

Constant sound

like a million

crickets

chattering

in my head

I experience

no silence

and probably

shall not

until I die

Cyanide

On Being Lazy

The bad part about laziness

is the guilt that insists I

accomplish things in order

to hide that facet

The paradox is that if I

became free to be lazy

I suspect I would get

much more accomplished

Distortion on a Gray Day

Memories

With any luck

the ragged people

discover how to sing

on the countless

gray days

which occupy time

between those occasional

days of sunshine

In a better world

one not consisting

of lies and jest

going away

is not necessary

or required

or even desired

Evaporation

Strange Stigma

Is it so awful to be smart

that I must hide it

so you’ll feel better?

If I mention it

you consider it

a personal attack?

Perish the thought

that anyone feel dumb

compared to me

Who invented these rules?

Someone who isn’t smart

I’ll wager

Partition

Exit

Your anger

does not become you

There is no joy

in viewing it

experiencing it

I refused

to participate

so it was only

a matter of time

until you turned on me

So I walked away

like I have

done before

I’ve always been

very good at that

Great Ball of Fire

Alternate Analysis

Interesting

that you perceive

my state of mind

so utterly

different

than I do

My time is spent

mostly amused

rolling my eyes

at the weirdness

of the human

community

While I bide time

waiting for the

blind to see

the deaf to hear

and the heartless

to start to feel

Bonding

Combination of the Two

The warmth of your smile

Providing comfort in a cold world

Friendship to chase away loneliness

Support in the face of hostility

A willing hand when relief is needed

And a hug

Two humans working together

Cooperating for survival

Sharing the joys and the pains

when they arrive

And a kiss

Having someone to be bored with

and sometimes break that boredom

Someone to share stories with

and with whom to make new ones

And cuddle

Until the end of time

Kaleidoscope #1

For Calming

When life gets too hectic

and you start to panic

stop what you are doing

and take a deep breath

look intensely inward

search for your center

try to remind yourself

to contemplate this:

There should always be time

to smell the colors

Holiday Satin

Spurious Issue

Christmas or merely

a Holy Day? It’s really

all the same to me.

So effortlessly

is the bogus argument,

the straw man, undressed.

Happy pre-Solstice

Art Link

World without Form

Glad Yule

It is a time of wonder

and some confusion

about why the sun

coming north again

and days getting longer

should bring on

the severest cold

but I know there is

an answer in science

I do not look

to dragons

or evil

to solve

my riddles
