A FAMILIAR ROAD

A FAMILIAR ROAD


As streams of consciousness
are poured into this poor state of mind
another rude awakening begins
and the drudgery dawns
a new day

At that very moment
wishful thinking
takes on the
identity of a sloth
his day job

Yet responsibility swiftly beckons
Steep challenges eagerly await
my arrival

If only life could be on pause
Still images frame by frame
If only time and tide could wait for this man
Suspend earth on it's axis
and let me turn over
and sleep in


Prompt 44 from Poetic Bloomings:  Take a road trip

  1. Oh my, who among us hasn't wished for the world to stop at least once so we could grab a few extra ZZZ's. I do love the first two lines of that last stanza, paints quite a nice picture.

    1. I think this is my daily experience! LOL! If only we had personal remote controls to earth's axis!
