I have been so frustrated and stressed lately that I haven’t been able to create ANYTHING along the lines of writing. I have not enjoyed being away from WordPress where I usually find solace in visiting to create whatever comes out – however, it is my daughter’s birthday today, and somehow I managed to come up with something like a freestyle-5- line-intertwining-rhyming-stanza situation – whatever! . I will enjoy today because it is truly a day to celebrate, and despite how weird this piece ‘sounds’ to me and how crazy the pic looks…it does represent my brain during the past week spent in a zone that I dread being trapped in against my will. Maybe this happens to force me to ‘break’ when I would normally keep it moving, so there’s always a bright side…yeah…I’ll just go with that! 🙂
The Zone
The blink of an eye takes me there;
But again, I missed the entire ride,
To I don’t know where;
Finding emptiness before me and on every side,
Totally unaware…
Pertaining to day or set time;
When I lost the urge to care,
For anything save words that rhyme;
So I decided to share…
Seemingly years since before;
The beginning began to begin,
From the uttermost depths beneath one lone shore;
Mixed with an extreme gust’s remnant of a caressing wind,
Possessing all of nothing, but desperate for more…
Fullness of easily followed direction with content;
Amid the trek of reality’s sidewalk,
Wondering if it is not – or truly meant;
To abide disease induced superfluous rhetorical talk,
Leading to the source of reality’s truths being twisted and bent…
Horribly out of shape, creating sporadically atrocious views;
Of life’s craving for selfishness during idle time spent,
Counting time against results sadly, not to uplift – but abuse;
A heart’s vision of what is whole, yet finding it rent…
Searching for the glue which is truth – it understands;
The power of authentic words created,
By hands;
Held together, mutually, willingly, satiated,
Once again home with a sigh of relief – oh, that familiar land!

That desperateness you describe, of wanting more, and of time passing so quickly, is something I can identify with. I’m so happy I came upon your post as it is wonderful!
