my mind is like wind
rustling and restless
wind playing in leaves
some trees are leaning in
my mind is not yet a storm
if it were it would bluster
and thunder and shoot
arrows of light earthward
my mind is not a calm day
no halcyon seas to becalm
itself no Morpheus to drag
dreams up to the surface
my mind is not a spring breeze
whistling jauntily along a lane
life is not that simple
my mind is just like the wind
rustling and restless
wind playing in leaves
some trees are leaning in
my mind is not yet a storm
if it were it would bluster
and thunder and shoot
arrows of light earthward
my mind is not a calm day
no halcyon seas to becalm
itself no Morpheus to drag
dreams up to the surface
my mind is not a spring breeze
whistling jauntily along a lane
life is not that simple
my mind is just like the wind
yes, I love this
ReplyDeleteIn all the varieties of windiness (including windlessness) I like that it is just like the wind itself. And of course air = intellect, so it seems to me the perfect metaphor.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Rosemary. Air is intellect in astrology.
