Between mind and heart
24 February 2016
The leaves in tight row
Bordered the alleys that wound
In between patches
Within my bosom clearings
Sat in toasty clusters of thought
Compact flowers shone
Sturdy milk white petunias
All cramped within pots
Tepid ideas roamed slow
In mind’s glowing flushed harbours
Warm winds blowing hard
Mixed petunias and green leaves
Left nothing untouched
Steady confusion of mind
Made patchwork of ideas
The dust riding fast
Sweaty summery playgrounds
Sweltering desert
Pieces in taut memories
Grew hot blizzard in my soul
The Earth cried out loud
She recognized not her pair
Earth and sky repelled
A heated debate ensued
Between rigid mind and heart

What an utterly beautiful post! 💚
I particularly loved your voice speaking the poem.
A triumph!
