A Poem

Long day. Odd poem. Thirty minutes. Rough draft:

***************
Tonight I feel fragile
Thick cracks spider
Cross my soul's face
Confusion-etched clouds
Glide behind my eyes
Impatiently waiting under
Waves of stormy silence
I wonder when
Will I be whole again

See me lean upon the chair's
Arm my head settled hard
Against my hand words landing
Like gnats need sweeping away
Fingers dig my hair
Nit-like they sit and pick
My wandering thoughts
Wondering when
Will I be whole again

Tips brush against my brow
Not roughly but lightly
Touching the right temple
I lose my mind
In the quiet sense
The cool sensation quick
To lift my head
With wonder when
I will be whole again

An interesting poem. I wonder what occurred at work for you today.

This seems sad . . . & it seems like it could be my own poem right now.
