poems from childhood

everyday the weather

changes in

my head

sometimes working together

thoughts spin

the storm is fed

it begins with days

of rolling, foggy

air; thick & mysterious

emotional rays

illuminate groggy

moods, exposing me: furious

winds pick up

fast, confusion settles

stubbornly blinding

sense of self erupts

last petal

still alive...binding

roots dig deep

struggling to hold on

as climate overpowers

attempting to keep

thriving til its gone

so again I can flower

because not all

days are dull

billowing, wild

today is fall

colors are full

thoughts mild

though you never

know what the day will bring

until you open your eyes

the mind is clever

capable of many things

accepting what serves & cutting foe ties

inspirational
