Apart
But bound
Open
But closed
For now
For now
Closed
But not for rent
And not for sale
We work better together
Together
I hate being with you
Without you
My mind is a tether ball
Fistbounced by this
That
And the other
Doubts
Worries
Hopes
Tethered
to one thing
One gift from
One
Bounced and spinning
Wobbling
Leashed
Swinging
Coming back
Twirling
Gleaming
In the hot, unblinking sun of time
As it glides passively over us
Bright and clear
Perfectly timeless
Perfectly timed
My mind gleams
Hot and tense
In the hot beams of time
That force a decision
My mind is a tether ball
Spinning and loose
Tight and spinning
Anchored to one thing
A gift from
A Giver
Getting back to you
A gift
From a Giver
My mind is a weather ball
Rising and falling
Swaying and twirling
From moment to moment
Dawn to dusk
Woe to me
For I can’t read the signs of the times
That force a decision
Maybe my mind will rest
Leash shortening with every revolution
Every revolt
Of choice
Will my mind rest?
Like a tether ball
Left behind by children
Gleaming
In the sun of time
Bounces shrinking
In the nick of time
Quicker, smaller
Nearer, clearer
Wobbling on a pole
Dangling on a dare
Will my mind rest?
Down
My mind is a feather
Plucked from skin
From home
Falling
Swirling
Swinging
Sinking
Rising
On the winds of time
And choice and
Settling always
On one thing
A gift
From a Giver
To get back to you
To give back to you
As a gift
Learned from a Giver
