In a day
we go from
awake, present, cheerful
to a place
busy, active, thought-filled
to deep within
overwhelmed, distracted, contemplative
then nowhere
tired, unfocused, zombied
ending up somewhere
unwinding, relaxed, peaceful
in to night

This poem is for Thursday Poets Rally

This beautiful gift is from Kavita
way to capture the amazing emotions we take for granted in our otherwise rudimentary quotidian lives

Your poem sums up my whole day, Heartspell.. very insightful, love this 🙂
This reminds me so much of how almost every day of my life is. Thanks for writing!
wow that sounds like my day here… at the end of the day i just totally space out- from busy, thought-filled to overwhelmed and distracted then on to zombied.
this is a lovely poem, heartspell.
Thank you, yes I think we all go through this… then it’s tomorrow and we start again! 🙂 heartspell
contemplative and zombied – you used one of my favorite words and one of my son’s favorite words in the same poem. I didn’t know it was possible. FANTASTIC!
Glad I could do that for You and Your son. 🙂 Heartspell
That is indeed the course of a day – well done, and thanks, I enjoyed the read

This was a super good read!! YOU are super good!

Have a lovely weekend, my sweet friend…
what an emotional drama….
love the way you say it!
🙂
Yes, a bit like a roller coaster, isn’t it? Thanks, Jingle. Heartspell
Now why do I love this so much? Because it is soooo identifiable, I think this week I went through every single motion and feeling as I have deadlines to meet!!! (the zombied part did it for me ) So well depicted my friend…and the last stanza is what I’ll be doing this weekend!!! Loved it…you wrote this one for me 🙂 🙂 🙂 Love you and keep smiling 😉 xxxxx
Well, I am glad that you could relate, Amanda and maybe reap the benefit of the words here…… and I am wishing you exactly this kind of weekend; peaceful, relaxing, and I’ll toss in joyful, comforting, regenerating, rejuvenating for good measure! Bless you, my sweet friend. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Heartspellxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
