~~~ Soul is the character that is made up of mind, will and
feelings of a person and the spiritual part or connection to
other humans while spirit is the deep connection to Him. ~~~
~~~ Quote by Poet ~~~
Oh, my soul, you make up my mind, will and emotion.
Why do I have moments of restless mind my strong will
could not calm or quiet down with stillness, self-awareness,
putting me in a wistful mood, feeling sad, blue, melancholy?
Neither I am worried nor anxious, I do not have too much
on my plate, I sleep well and I do things I truly like and enjoy.
Yet, my mind keeps going round and round while doing
paperwork, house chores and even writing, yes, writing.
Dancing, singing and reading can stop my racing thoughts
for I am in a trance when I am dancing, I am in the moment
when I am singing and I am on my toes when I am reading
crime and romance mysteries, legal fiction, action, thriller.
I feel wistful that writing could not even tame my racing mind,
when one way to manage restless mind is to write my thoughts
and feelings on paper for it is therapeutic for overactive mind.
Here I am with wistful thoughts for writing could not help me.
With wistful smile, I am penning my thoughts, my feelings.
Thoughts of what am I looking for, what am I searching when
I don’t even know what it is and feelings of lacking, missing
something I don’t know… wistful thoughts over and over …
