Crazy thoughts at midnight hour

About me or parts of me

Crazy

I feel happy so ecstatic
Then two days later my mind
Body spirit heart has been
Broken like a thin worn pulled elastic
For only now I choose to take the good safe road
In life it seems too scared to have fun
Never doing a thing wrong
Paying my penance for
Those years of wine men and sefish
Pleasure and lazy song
But it's so safe so predictable here now
I love that most of the time but
I'm old now
But some days I feel crazy with past demons
Like a rip in ocean in warmer seasons

Like a hat without its feather
I can't explain the whys and whether
What has passed is past and buried treasure
Somewhere in the never
But the what ifs and what nots haunt my
Steady rising tether
Into the dark recess I scramble in my mind
I see the whether whys and nevers
I finally see an older me
Asking is it too late for just a never
With that thought I cry with tears
Which are so flowingly unkind
My past is finally left behind
And I'm a riddle in that rhyme
Like so often poets are
We are the battlers in our minds

The mind at midnight, how it wanders and plays tricks. I can imagine all these thoughts like scrambled eggs in your mind Julie. Tossing and churning. Never too late for love my friend. Well penned and will be relatable to some no doubt.

Your writing shows the reality of life though past being as real as today.
We do remember as is said, "as if yesterday." This poem showed a hope
within itself that life can be a lesson and that we can always learn.
Blessings,
Kathy
