TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE FLOW (CPC Collab with Photo)




TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE FLOW

TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE FLOW
BY BARBARA K

A CHERYL’S PALS COLLAB


Thoughts keep running

through my mind;
if only they’d slow down
when I’m trying to unwind;
thoughts often stalled
and getting me nowhere fast,
playing games inside my head
and often causing so much dread,
especially when
I’m trying so very hard
to turn them off
and go to bed.

They have so much fun
just playing around,
these thoughts of mine
that just won’t settle down –
sweet memories of youth,
the delightful ones,
playing tag with the thoughts
of things gone wrong,
bridges crossed
but never burned,
thoughts popping
up at every turn.

I wish they’d listen
when I tell them to stop,
but they don’t listen at all
or even pay any attention to me,
these thoughts of mine,
with their own agendas
and their own timelines.

And as they fly by,
these thoughts of mine,
so quickly and at
the blink of an eye,
I look forward to the day ahead
and tomorrow’s dawn
when I’ll let those thoughts go
and begin living within
a more positive flow.
