What is bothering you?

Do I have a paint stain?

Or did I leave some food down my front again?

Just to make you scream.

What do you mean?

I must not eat this and that,

I am what you say I must be?

Oh dear ! How careless of me.

My shoe?

No?

My lace? Oh my shoe lace,

Is loose again.

don't worry it's just

giving you a visual of my brain.

flip flop lip flop

goes my shoe lace,

Flippity, floppity

all over the place.

You say,

Can be dangerous

on a bike,

can trip you up

when you hike.

Can get caught

in the escalator,

in the shopping centre.

Yes I know,

I can trip up and fall flat on my face.

with this very loose untied shoe lace!

This way,

that way go my

thoughts.

This day that day

I'll get the sort

of thought

that is capable

of standing up to time,

and total oblivion

and instead become sublime.

A memory

of the incredible kind.

The gem like one,

a pearl or ruby red,

you know the sort

that helps as

appreciate life

as we ought.

Instead of whining and asking for

the reasons of why?

Instead of feeling guilty

that I do this wrong or that.

Instead of worrying about

what I must not eat.

And rise above all that crape,

and allow instead....

Those thoughts that rise

above to shine

like the sun or full moon.

You know what I mean?

There forever

to be recalled,

that dream

that can change our world.
