TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE FLOW<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/em><\/font>
\nThoughts keep running<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

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

\nThey have so much fun<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
just playing around,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
these thoughts of mine<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
that just won’t settle down \u2013<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
sweet memories of youth,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
the delightful ones,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
playing tag with the thoughts<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
of things gone wrong,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
bridges crossed<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
but never burned,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
thoughts popping<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
up at every turn.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nI wish they’d listen<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
when I tell them to stop,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
but they don’t listen at all<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
or even pay any attention to me,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
these thoughts of mine,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
with their own agendas<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and their own timelines.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

\nAnd as they fly by,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
these thoughts of mine,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
so quickly and at <\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
the blink of an eye,<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
I look forward to the day ahead<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and tomorrow’s dawn<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
when I’ll let those thoughts go<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
and begin living within<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
a more positive flow.<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/div>\n
