Daily deeds that need be done may seem like trying tasks to some, but not to me, for I have come to perceive them all as saving graces. They sever all the ties that bind my thoughts, in dungeons of my mind and free me from what I always find to be such dark and scary places. I embrace them, like a lover They are not met with sadness. They rescue me from 'neath the covers, where I often lay in muffled madness. They are brief and blessed moments that bring rewards with no atonements There are no crowns that carry stone dents Saved from nightmares Free of dreams I relish and I savor all theses little daily labors Mingling with maniacal masses, where time so quickly passes and sanity always seems. Raise me, Fell me, Who the Devil can tell me what the Hell this means ? Let me hear your chosen chatter It has its' merit but does not matter You may flog or you may flatter but... I must take out the trash. After I go to the grocery store. All of which shall be done... post bowel movement. *** |

There are some great rhymes in this poem. None of them sound forced, which can be difficult to accomplish alone. Then, in addition, it's a great poem. I'm not one to define the meaning of poetic works, but I like what I saw in this. I believe others could relate to this if they stop and think. |

I guess I'll just have to look at those tedious chores in a different light. Ida |

Cinderella and Snow White and many of us women have done the same for ... ages, lol. "Whistle while you work" putting heart into the task at hand, is good for the soul. Immersing yourself in the moment, helps take the mind out of yesterday and tomorow and focusing on the present helps ground us, but thats tricky too, lol. Physical work helps take our mind off other "things" |
