Within my Head
October 20, 2021
The wind blows the branches above me
Sending leaves drifting through empty space
Like the thoughts in my head
Ebbing and flowing.
I watch as the leaf floats down to the earth
Watch as it makes contact with the earth
Gently lays on the surface
Like a feather touch.
My thoughts aren’t like that
They push at the walls of my head
Aching to get out
Unknowing of the world, and unwitting.
I can’t control my thoughts
Anymore than I can control the wind
As gentle as that leaf lay
I mourned that my mind couldn’t mirror it.
