Fair to middlin' of nowhere

On the wisp of a whim
like my hair in the wind

my thoughts flutter
like dove feathers

to pleasing places
and long lost faces

memories freed of sting
by time’s  tempering

I’m not near so awful
as I once would tell

myself I was
Now that my because

has gone  for lack of reason
leaving me to this peaceful season

in acceptance and understanding
on hiatus from critical and demanding

Jerry, a few good days in a row like this and I'll find a way to screw it up so it feels "normal" again.  People are such funny creatures.

"On hiatus from critical demanding"

That statement leaves me quite envious of you.  A moment's pause to just sit back and reflect.  That can be a bewildering place even so, when your whole focus and reason for doing anything and sometimes everything is thrown out the window.  For me, it sounds like a nice place to catch your breath... but my because may differ from yours.  I wouldn't miss mine if it never came back.

Yes we all need a break sometimes. Nicely done.

Michael- unfortunately it is only hiatus and they are rare. I think that is what prompted me to write about it.  Kind of like an eclipse.  Thanks for commenting

Kat- yes we do.  The tricky part is figuring out what kind of break you really need- well that's my problem...A nap isn't necessarily the universal break to take...
Thanks for the read and comment
