Notes About The Poem

When thoughts go dark

In my mind skies can be blue
thoughts can turn and swirl
and take an unexpected whirl
feeling like I've consumed a witch's brew

Just when I think there'll be no end
I find the perfect spot under the sun
to drop off what feels like a megaton
and soak in that sunshine before I call a friend

Dear Line, Such a gentle breeze after a storm that even when thoughts spiral, there’s always a patch of sunlight waiting. I love how you capture both the weight and the relief, and how friendship is always the brightest spot. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

We are what we think -- more so than what we eat. A very wise fellow once said: "The thoughts of a man -- are the man." ~ Dee P. Thinker
