The mind of a woman
like a pendulum
sways between pencil
and pen and ink entries
in her journal of awareness.

Not too far away
the eraser of hope
lies in Cheshire cat repose
in anticipation of
a summons to perform
whilst the ruler of reality
smug in own importance
knows soon it must decree
the drawing of a line
underneath a dream.

The rain falls today;
it must be the rain
for it’s outside and not in
like distant fellowship
with the pain of love.

Drops of water mar her view,
sun mingles with the gray,
and she is kept within
encouraged by the chill
to pick up pen and ink
or similes of them,
erase what cannot be,
and rule off happiness.

The mind of a woman
has lost the beat of time
but the tools of moving on
pitter patter in her brain
when the rain falls
outside and not in!

Marge - Thank you so much for your most uplifting comment. I must confess to being overwhelmed - perhaps I should read it again.

You've entered the mind of many with this very fine work of poetic art. It is not the kind of poetry you read once and are satisfied with..... you read it over and over and every time a vision appears. Well done my friend. Keep your Muse busy it is very inspirational. Love and peace, Maggie ((~.~))

The tools for moving on, those really are the trick, I think. Again, you are so wonderfully wise, my friend. I'm sorry I missed this before, but a little angel turned me back to find it..thank you, Marge/angel/sis!
