Poem
I love to let my mind wander in the morning…while I walk the streets alone… I never know where it will lead me…you might say my mind has a mind of its own. Sometimes it leads to my friends, my children, my grandchildren…my wife. other times it leads to God, love, war, hate or other mysteries of life. Then there are mornings like this morning…where before my walk is done… My mind, by the kind of questions it asks, decided to have a little fun. Does the moon ever wonder about how she phases in and out… does she ever ask herself why? Is there a star that ever feels lonely and wishes for a friend to share the sky? Is there a bird who’s ever wished she could sing a different song… or that her music came with words? Is there a cricket who’s ever wondered what it’d be like to be a bird? Is there a snake who's ever wished he could walk instead of crawl? Is there an evergreen whose ever wished she could be filled with color in the fall? After listening to the voices of so many other animals… is there a rabbit out there who wishes he had a voice too? Is there an owl who wishes he could ask What, When, Where or How… instead of always asking Who? Are the clouds in the night happy being white or would another color they prefer? Does the wind ever wish her beauty could be seen…or is she happy only being heard? Is the water in the ocean at night happy being dark…or would it prefer to glow? When not walking beside, behind or in front of me…where does my shadow go? I never know where my mind will take me…where its wonderings will roam from the time I step out my front door…until I find my way back home. But it’s fun on mornings…like this morning… with my untethered mind as my guide… to let it lead while I sit back hold on tight and just enjoy the ride.
