Funny thing, the wisdom of moving on…
\nIt seems so clinical. So… I don’t know…
\ncynical, perhaps.<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
I wonder about life coaches…
\nwith the right questions to help me
\nmake the right choice.<\/p>\n
Just let go.<\/p>\n
But, I’m a poet! I am an actor!
\nI am a musician! I feel my art!
\nHow can I feel my art without its essence?<\/p>\n
Take it slow.<\/p>\n
I know! I’ll put it in a little box,
\nand take it with me,
\nhide it from myself until I need to sing.<\/p>\n
Don’t say hello.<\/p>\n
Don’t wonder how he is.
\nDon’t hope for his happiness.
\nCertainly not for his sadness.<\/p>\n
Don’t want to know.<\/p>\n
That’s not the point, really…
\nIt’s more of a universe thing…
\nA collective attunement… I feel.<\/p>\n
So?<\/p>\n
So, we were friends…
\nfriends of the strangest sort…
\nlike a thickness spread too thin.<\/p>\n
It was a glow.<\/p>\n
Yes! Surrounded by shadow.
\nAll my shadows… my monsters…
\nmy “handlers”… my crazy, crazy people.<\/p>\n
Go with the flow.<\/p>\n
Yes, well… I think I’ll flow into sleep about now.
\nBusy day tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to the next 21 days!
\nNew songs, new muses, new thoughts,
\nRenewed synapses, better art!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
