Literature Entry Week 7 - My Head - A poem by me
My head is in the clouds,
Though my body is lying here,
My soul is lost to the depths of my being.
My thoughts are jumbled,
And my knowledge is lost in the tangle.
My head is trying to comprehend,
Though it feels as though that grey matter has gone too,
Along with my thoughts and my knowledge.
My soul is bleeding for…
I don’t know what, it cant tell me,
Because it is no longer attached.
My knowledge is gone and it makes me feel empty, shallow and alone.
My spirit has started to fade,
Along with my knowledge, my soul and my thoughts
My head is just sailing in the clouds,
As my body just lays,
Still breathing and functioning,
But without any purpose or reason to,
It’s as if it is willing my parts to un-jumble, untangle.
My soul is willing and begins raising from the depths,
My knowledge trickles back into my thoughts,
And lastly my thoughts untangle and reform into my thoughts,
My body reaches out to my head,
Still loftily floating in the clouds and,
With the gentleness that only it knows brings it back into my being.
Back to me.
