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

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