I'm a Woolgatherer

Rocky Lagou

Don’t think too much.

You’ll tend to get lost,

in the figments

in the pigments

of the colors -

every shade

in the day

Hidden replicas, dark and gray

 

Don’t you know? I’m a woolgatherer -

After they shear

I collect the fleece,

recollect the peace,

back when life was sweet

lost in reverie

 

I feel that the closest connection one could ever have with the

supernatural is that when one is “zoned out”

 

Lost in space

Mingling with the subconscious state

Full-blown auto pilot

A brief interval of responsive silence

 

Until,

Awareness trickles in,

Then you’ll become sad, again.


Don’t think too much,

daydreamers.

 

And as for me,

I’ll stay in my farm woolgathering,

‘Till I snap out of it!

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem reflects on the lonely times of introspection that happens in most our day-to-day lives (like "daydreaming" or straight-up "zoning out") which although seemingly "innocent" may reveal the deeper, darker, sides of our beings.

    I think woolgathering should be made law, and then set in stone.
    Okay, a queue of cars has suddenly gone ballistic behind me. They obviously ain't woolgatherers. Like your poem.

            True once you think of it. This is usually out of mind but it happens continually. Well done
