Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

The Mind Drifts

The mind drifts
  free-floats gaily
far, far from its moorings
  lighter-than-air

Associations stream
  in-and-out on
ribbons, wisps of lazy strings
  hanging from rose-colored kites

Dark forces loom
  yet undetected
thoughts breathlessly racing
  beyond our tenuous grasp

Kenneth Cheney April 17, 2020 at 1:31 PM Perhaps if I close my eyes for just a moment I can be right there with you. Ah heck who am I kidding I am a daydreamer from way back. My grasp always being a bit tenuous. Enjoyed. Thanks for your drifting mind. Gershon Wolf April 17, 2020 at 5:48 PM You, me, and the Drifters, I guess. LOL. Thanks, Kenneth.

Caren Krutsinger April 12, 2020 at 9:46 PM I am ready for a long wonderful daydream and overdue; this missive reminds and coaxes me. Gershon Wolf April 13, 2020 at 1:50 PM 'What a day for a daydream,' as the Spoonful used to croon! ~ gw

Lindsay Laurie April 12, 2020 at 8:56 PM Hello Gershon … if your verse represents day dreaming then I am guilty - thanks Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf April 13, 2020 at 1:49 PM Haha! I'm equally guilty... Now where was I? ~ Cheers, Gershon
