this spirit of unrest has stirred up
more words than it is worth
and it even now demands a sequel be written
and so a sequel it shall be
yes a sequel
or so it seems

long and slow is my exhale
slowly but surely a thought is birthed
that in the condition I am in
staleness can be naught but a lie
I have fresh air a plenty
with each breath my cracks and imperfections
murmur reminder hisses that
I am not
air tight

restlessness-innocent? I think not
for I
have flown
and fallen hard
and there is much to be said
for the safety of the nest
open mouthed and looking
trusting for provision
from Above

irritations? today irritation brings forth
only one word-why?
why when there are dragonflies glinting in the sun
delicately colored butterflies floating on the breeze
and thousands of shades of green to see
on one single tree
why when the buzz of insects and a bird’s open throated song accompany
the sun’s embracing warmth
I shall not be irritated with today
tomorrow is not given me
but today is

and while reason has opened its ears
fragility hurriedly inputs that I
am not finished and might never be
I am a work in progress
the Spirit that lives inside adds
that wings are not needed
to fly
and that my delight
is Heaven bound
far beyond a thief’s grasp

a sequel was needed but gratitude
is now the reason

Read this yesterday and got pulled away before I could make my mark with a reply that was befitting this piece....

"with each breath my cracks and imperfections
murmur reminder hisses that
I am not
air tight"

Those lines were my favorite, however, this was full of wonderful lines..
