Pasta and pondering

Pasta and pondering

A Poem by EmpressPoetess

My mind oscillates to and fro
like a slow Sunday morning hymn .

At these times I still my thoughts

To temper my flailing moods.

 

I imagine floating in cool water,

whispering to spring butterflies

That dance atop my crinkled nose.

 

The sun sparkles diamond like,

A sign of my need to change angles.

I suppose, as I filter my unwed dreams,

of life now and life beyond this.

 

Enchantment has embraced me tight.

I shall toss it all up and see where it lands!

Is there no wonder I smile to myself

Like a small, daydreaming child
into my bowl of bow-tie
pasta?
