Refreshed

I drop my claw into the spine of the silvery mouse

And aim his yellow tooth skyward,

Bringing it to rest upon the square where live the two arrows.

Tapping now his left ear,

my life leaps to an earlier day, as

An horrific week is voided,

And Sanity subtly seeks to re-infuse my Soul...

Now may all whom my madness has injured

Similarly seek and find the sweet solace

Of the Refresh button.

A clever but more so, a cleansing post that says more than a tome, my friend. We should all have a Refresh button, and when I say 'all', I mean that. We all hiccup through life.

Beautiful wisdom, Mark: 'And Sanity subtly seeks to re-infuse my Soul...'

I was once told to think of SELF as being like a heart - made from sections, each doing good for most of the time, but playing tantrums now and again. The thing to remember is that in the end, it's the wholeness that matters.

As always, your post is an example of what and how to write.

I would venture to agree with Emma. Very clever indeed. Until the last line I was envisioning a cat having a bad week and taking it out on his captured squeaker. Kinda reminds me of a poem I recently wrote concerning a darker topic. The way it is written and intended to be read and discovered is the same anyway I think. Very nicely done.
