Best Spinning Your Wheels Poems
The Sad Nocturnal Song of FrogsThe night is young
And enticing
Still, a lump weighs heavily on my heart
As I sit by the window
And reflect on the cause of life!
Pray, it would seem that, somehow
People get so engrossed in life
That they forget about its illusory power
Or,
Is it that they simply choose
To pretend...

Losing MyselfI wander away from myself.
In slivers and slips
Bits and pieces.
Tiny fragments,
diamond shaped,
in shards.
Slowly at first,
then in earnest,
Faster and faster.
Spinning my wheels
Running toward nothingness
Throwing myself on the edge of train tracks
Waiting for the train that never comes
Wondering at the ridiculousness
of thoughts I do not...

To Question ExistenceIsn't our quality of life greatly subject to how we view our world and what happens in it?
I heard someone say recently, (and I agree), that nature is one of the most beautiful things we are blessed with in life, but then I began thinking...

White Picket FenceBy Laura
March 27, 2016
This is my sunset home
Forever here I roam
I can't escape these memories
The waves that throw me in the sea
To rise above the flashback tide
To know there's nowhere left to hide
We only eat from the aimless streets
Statistics seem to see what they want...

DistanceAs the years and the memories slowly fade away.
The dust from my travels have become a stone grey.
Spent most of my life running from what, I don't know.
Maybe it was the fear I felt from trying to let go.
Still trying to...

Out of FocusWhen you focus on things beyond your control
Is like dishing up heap of frustration in a large bowl
Pacing back and forth biting your nails
Depression takes the wind right out of your sails
Stress becomes your new best friend
Swimming with anxiety in the deep end
Your mind and...

24 December Retail InsanityWith maxed credit limits, we’re still roving for goods
spinning our wheels over ought-to’s and shoulds
We’ll shop till we’re dropped,
might see a guy popped,
in the nose over faded blue jeans.
If it’s the very last pair
(on sale, of course, at the Mart)
but please, let’s try to...

A Greener Bodhisattva WorldThis is the third time
I've read Beyond Religion:
Ethics
[non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-violent]
for A (not "The") Whole World
[ZeroZenZone Universe, psychological and politically eco-logical].
In the second, of two, sections,
the Dalai Lama discusses,
in most excruciating therapeutic detail,
emotional positive v negative intelligence,
good- through bad-humored democratic literacy.
I remember Behavioral Psychology class
leading to...

PateinceCarnelian robes permeate dreamtime landscapes
of parchment and prayer flag.
Smiling faces walk swiftly
through corridors of ancient walls
carved from living mountains,
spinning cylindrical wheels in their wake.
Patience of a thousand, thousand years,
we wait for peace.
Eagle feathers jounce
as soft moccasins dance heartbeat
on the prairie hair of Mother Earth.
Sacred sisters...

RainLet the rain come down today
And wash all of my sins away
My tears fall down my cheeks like rain
Rain to wash away the pain
I feel like a car stuck in a ditch
Cannot move and without a hitch
Spinning my wheels so I can flee
This hole I’m...

You'Re MineSo tired of spinning my wheels,
I just can't wait to get into my heels
Hours of fun and mingling
Gives me a warm sensation,
almost tingling.
All these people
Single place
One time
For us,
It's a sign
It's divine
We're happy
You're mine...

'grand'MotherSlow and subtle, mellow and munificent.
Stripes of selflessness run through her veins.
But there’s something about her that
I can’t describe.
It’s love, deep love- spinning its wheels,
It never ends. Sacrifice, kiss goodbye
and cut loose, for love. Undying
of myriad attempts for happiness
For those she has left.
It’s faith-...

VanityIt's insanity, for all is vanity;
It's like spinning your wheels, going nowhere fast.
Getting caught up in things that will not last.
Building your hopes upon the sand;
Wasting your time on an already foiled plan.
One that is ruined before...

Or Is It the Tulips`
Driving by,
lost on a side street
directly in the middle
of where I never wanted to be
Clamoring at the expectations
strewn along the curb
between the broken dishwasher
and empty beer cans
Where neighborhood gnomes
painted gaily colors
wave as if they know me,
but I ignore them - sort of
There is one...

The Crushed Leaf Underneath Your BootMy empty dream in vibrant spring
To make true with your loving grace;
I awaited an era till you bring
Those cheerful memories of solace.
Hand-in-hand to walk life together;
To withstand miseries what may come;
Not to turn one's back in bad weather;
Have you kept those promises you've done.
Silent years...
