today my mind behaves like
slow moving molasses
a viscous sweet brown mass
spreading indistinctly
through my body
sticking like cookie dough
to my imagination
today my soul flutters
like a drunk butterfly
in desperate search of beauty
getting lost in the colors
of a teardrop rainbow
emerging powerfully pristine
in a brilliant burst of light
today I am carried
on silver bat’s wings
from dark arrant despair
to breathtaking heights
illuminating my heart
stunningly clear vistas
of the untrodden path ahead

Hallucinatory Fred?
Dave
Thanks Dave, aren't we all? How else could we come up with all this 'stuff'?
Perhaps you could be right, Fred - after all I've been advised by another poet with much more seniority here to 'be very careful what you allow to be put in your rosehip syrup' - I'm half tempted to do an Oliver Twist and ask for more...
That untrodden path ahead is full of wonder, keep walking it.
Andy
Thanks Andy, yes it is, and I guess we don't have much choice but to keep on going.
I'm gonna climb a tree, then I will see all that you're seeing too, from that view up there. lol.
Thanks orchie, and once you are on top I know you will start to sing and scare away all the birds!
This superb piece of poetry has to be one of your best Fred and it goes straight into my list of faves - - great read.
Thank you so much Fay, you are much much too kind! Actually made me blush a bit. Or maybe that is just my sunburn?
wonderfully vivid, a fantastical journey within words...
really well executed, a great write!
Mahalo L.B., you too are very kind with your awesome comment. I do appreciate it.
Your day sounds like it starts like mine. I love the way the feeling of your poem turns from molasses to breath taking heights.

Mahalo Philip, isn't it amazing how fast our outlook on life can change sometimes.
