Today day trilogy

yesterday, today and tomorrow…
take it one day at a time..!

Thankfully it’s Friday?
Yesterday, today and tomorrow shock revelation: ‘Friday’s just another day for us!’

Yesterday, today and tomorrow always stay together
whatever the circumstances, time and weather.

 

return to the fold(ing mirror)

space odyssey
distant humanity
mirror connection
my reflection

My latest Facebook colour background sized poem returns to the Folding Mirror theme of this website and the form premiered here, but it doesn’t take that shape.

The title of the post wordplays: 1. To begin participating in, belonging to, or supporting some group, activity, or field that one left for a period of time in the past.

WRITER MIND RECOLLECTIONS

Diving deep into brain
to reach the artistic
melancholy mind
is like riding rapids
through a harsh environment
to an oasis.

sleep celebrates silence,
space irons out lumps…
wake to human news,
return to writing
after music soothes

My books have investigated the writer mind (mining mine!) more than anyone I know, and the above are more in tow!

Isolation Generation

Nobody built bridges
or dug deep ditches
to where my mind
resides with own kind.

The above Facebook sized poem developed from this thought, that I first posted as a draft here yesterday:
Bridges (positive) and ditches (negative) built in my wake to imply I was diverted away; attention; from reaching my intended destination.

Short Poem, Deep Thought

The Generation of the title mainly refers to generating; as in isolation generating a mindset; but abstractly can also work for those living amongst covid-19: while it’s impossible not to be affected by it, maybe some will learn from it for the better of their mind? 

I think I’m mentally where I thought I’d be at this age; either alone or with a soulmate; but I’m not sure when I started thinking that. Certainly, the greenYgrey decade (2006-2016: 40-50 years of age) was a transition period I set out, and wrote about, but don’t think I knew much about the future before that.
