"Lemon buzz"

A subtle note
Came my way
Across time and places,
Across smiles and faces..

Said hello
In the form of a song
Added a bounce to my gait,
Added worth to the wait..

I read every line
Read it again
Grinned at the thought,
Grinned at everything it brought..

It smelled of black-currants
And blooming lilacs
Had a familiar feel,
Had a friendship seal..

Pretensions none
Cheers immense
Caught me by surprise,
Caught me before the mornings' very eyes..

A last look at it
Recovery followed
I walked with rhythm today,
I walked my way..

Folded and secure
Framed in my mind
I wish there were messages more,
I wish it were someone's daily chore..

"That warm sunday morning"

This was the day it all began. Apprehensions, confusion, nervousness, anxiety and all with a bit of sifted happiness. Happiness which turned to excitement, excitement which turned to chaos, chaos which turned to stress, stress which remained. The upcoming days were turmoil. Mentally and physically. I rooted myself in my decisions and beliefs but the more I thought, the more I had to re-consider my options.In other words, whatever little peace I had, was destroyed with every small function of the brain.

Then came the calm. The period of smooth and consistent silence where the noises are blocked out by the overwhelming response of the overworked head.The sounds of a tired body with an immense hope of being rejuvinated soon.A hope that sees no light at the end of the tunnel.A hope that truly floats, and refuses to settle down.

But it happened. I walked through the dust and grime of the commotion and found my glitter corner. My breathing sanctuary. My humble abode. It was not the ultimate refresher, but it was a settlement with self. It was acceptance. It was time to stop thinking.

Now I fly...

..but only to be back to the confusion one day..
