"Moi..."

An after the holiday visit...

"Moi... "

A poem - created and read to 

"Mad, Mad World".

Another day older - 

grousable, morning aches

behind smiling eyes, 

and yes - a few pains

to walk with

chuckle over

and get by.  

Tools to "play" with

on a host of abnormal things, 

books to wander about, 

"goodlies" to munch over,

"spirits" to quest,

spices to replace and begin anew, 

memories to sit and sip through and 

"stuff" to ensure I do yet other "stuff" too.

Blue-ray-movies I didn't see when,

TV keepsakes to vouchsafe empty eves...

bits-of-binged existence to hide within

and breathe over, mull-about

...leave-a-wish nights.

Sitting and watching the tree spirits

flicker and swirl

dip and twirl

rise and fade to the brightest black

as expanding inward - the child-me

...breathes.

Christmas thoughts and memories- "leave a wish nights". Best time of year. We are all children then..."the child-me breathes...stunning.

[Gee]

This spirited me back to January, my month of reflection and post Christmas blues. I'm glad I accepted the invitation.

[Chris]

You ARE always welcome to pause with me...glad you did today

[Gee]

I often read both yours and Jacobs but struggle to make sense. This though is down to my inadequacies and nowt to do with both your writing.

[Chris]

I need to work on clarity...but life IS personal and the sharing - well, nuff said.

[Dawn]

Just breathe...you like using pauses like I do..if you like wearing shoes half as much as I do I'd say we were twins..;) lol seriously though a lovely write, you had me reading your reflections with a wide grin..

[Chris]

Think Christmas... sometimes it's little things and how you appreciate them that lets someone smile.

[Kenneth The Poet]

You've kept your optimism over the course of your life it seems like, Chris, and I see it here so brightly.

[Coyote Poetry]

You touched on many subjects. I liked the places and visions create by the good description. Life is many wonders. Small things gain value with long life. Thank you Chris for sharing the amazing poetry.

Flickering, dipping, swirling... Ripping and slipping between the words of this succinctly breathed story is a pleasure... I applaud the word choice and use of irony... Smartly penned...

"stuff" to ensure I do yet other "stuff" too.
I like this line as it brings it back to a reality for a brief moment before letting it drift off to the illusive beautiful inner freedom. Beautiful wording.

Child-me .... I like that .. As we live our second childhood.. every breathing,and even those breathless moments have a special and thankful meaning..
Darn those abnormal things..lol, not sure what those are, but I have a good idea.

Happy New Year !..

Thanks for sharing !
