A 'feeling'
'clouds'
over me
I try to find the words
to match it,
a phrase
that agrees with the emotion
and search the metaphor
to portray the image
It fights for my attention
this 'feeling'
and I battle with it
for a time
It does not waver
until I submit
I slump, defeated sometimes
sitting with my pen
Now may not be convenient
but 'now' is the time,
apparently!!
I offer
'patience'
and the rhyming story
is permitted to unfold
and be told.
As I sit
the words and phrases
are no longer jumbled
they're calm ..
and settle ..
like tiny
white
glittering flakes
within a snow globe
