A Rush
Always in a rush
Must admit,
I live for the rush
I bitch about the hurry
I admit,
Addicted to constant fury
Rush of ocean waves
I wonder,
If I will make it to that day
Flushed, my red cheeks
I wonder,
If you can feel my heat
Scattered and all over place
I can’t
Seem to change my pace
Constant cascades of life
I don’t
Dodge, instead stand in downpours of “why’s”
The surge of the almosts, maybes, and so-close…
The constant hasten moments; distraction’s my host
The plunge of needling ink into my skin
I welcome,
The flush of blood pooling in
Fleeting and flitting around
I recognoize,
The chaos of home I bound

Pshew, felt this one, where I am in recent months.
My favorite: “The surge of the almosts, maybes, and so-close…”
A surge indeed… Thank you 🙂 and hopefully you can have a version of a breather soon.
you had me with the first line
Seems a common theme!
Oh–you created great tension! Great poem!
“Scattered and all over place
I can’t
Seem to change my pace”
I really empathized here. Oh, just to sit still and do nothing . . .
YES. I find the only time I “sit” in stillness is from forced exhaustion or or paralyzed from being overwhelmed with TOO MUCH. Thank you for sharing in your empathy. Your comments are so kind.
