Free To Meander

Unhampered by daunting perfection
Not given to much introspection
Contented with idle reflection
I wander in aimless direction.

Paul, we all need a 'day off' once in awhile to let the mind, body, spirit relax, go with the flow and free the mind to wander... a wonderful Monorhyme that 'meanders' gently and beautifully through the readers mind.. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan
