A Mysterious Thing
She is a mysterious thing…
Invincible, Invisible & a Master of Torment.
Do not try asking why—that is exhausting.
She is temperamental—
Like An old pick-up truck.
Speak sweet to her--rub the steering wheel
She will take you from point a –to- point b.
Curse and Swear--Rant and Rave…
You will find yourself kicking tires & walking away.
Some days she makes me feel like a scraggly, stray dog.
Homeless and tired, wandering alone.
She is a Beast—a loud, flashing bright light.
I see her, I feel her—but others have no sight.
She is selfish and avaricious--
Consuming my days & taking my nights.
Never bothering to ask—if I have plans.
Certain hopes-will not-be obtained.
Picking and Choosing--Battles and Tasks,
Maybe tomorrow--if just for the day.
The fog will lift & rain will play.
So many spoons—not enough plates.
