My Clickety Clackety Mind

My mind goes clickety clackety
Down yesterday’s track.
I chase it hard to slow it down.
And possibly bring part of it back.
It spits in my face,
And kicks my shins.
With my imagination in full throttle,
I never do win…

My mind is dancing and prancing
Alone in the dark, 
Not waking me up.
On zone auto-stark.
I sleep like a baby 
For my spirit is away
In Omaha or Europe
on Astral Travel today.

My mind is shushing the soul
As it reenters my body.
I wake up swiftly, my eyes connecting again.
The lightness of the day has me ready to win.
My soul and my mind and my imagination too
Are clearly in charge of everything that I do.

This is delightful, Caren. A barrel of monkeys! Cheers, Gershon

Thank you GW. It was fun when it started prancing around in my mind, demanding for a write.

I’ve got to find myself one of those Astral projectors.

Mine does not like to sleep. Gets insanely irritated and whiny when it really needs to go to bed; like a two year old.

Well-said. It's amazing how active our minds are at night when our bodies rest. Good poem!

It is silly to me but about three a.m. bah bing bah boom. My muses are dancing on my skull with clog shoes, waking me up to enjoy the witching hour by writing something they have concocted.
