Thought Comforts

Blunt stones and shattered glass of anxiety
That grind and crack will
And lacerate comforting plush of calm
Disembowel.

That brisk wind of rolling thoughts
That seamlessly translates into words
Soothing, smiles—
Emit word, laughter!—
Torn, confused, made introspect
With thoughts racing, breaking
Oh youdon’t thinkIdidn’t mean
Clashmisunderstand heat willshehe notheydont
Understand!

Dedalus epiphanied in confession box.

Perhaps if I realize that life flows, progresses;
Admit to myself that the past has just happened,
I can smile at any halts or recesses
And see conversation’s wonder:
When an idea comes to mind
And you say and I say
And thoughts connect and words roll
In a constant, present, unceasing flow.

I do not know confession box,
But when turbulent in mind
I like to walk to the source
Where the spring gurgles upwards
And present is present and the past has flown past.
