Paper Trails

incessant grey
achromatic
therapeutic thesis
enigmatic
contrails contour
bend my mind
causing curvature
of my spine
an open book
i opine
spilling soul
a radical sign
my cup runneth over
with sparkling wine
cumulonimbus
as cloud 9

flipping the world
and tilt it's atlas
no need for special
gifts or apparatus
no rose colored lenses
no cloud atlas
there's a simple method
to my madness
shapeshifting emotions
portait on a canvas
i stand in the sands
time forgot
with a carriage
of forget-me-nots
every lesson learned
a letter earned

thoughts and reasonings
churned to discern
wagon wheels
burn baby burn
"wheel in the sky"
as the world turns
all the days of my life
when i was young and restless
tried and tested
so i'm fully vested
a crosscut saw
carving a beaten path
cut down all the things
that fueled my wrath
all the pains
that stifled me

turned cargo of carnage
into jubilee
forbidden kingdom
beneath my feet
i figured out
life' epiphany
found the path
that fulfill me
breadcrumbs back home
led back to me
today i sat and watched as
the wind whisked loose leaves
how lively they were
dancing in the breeze
and thought of paper trails
of sable sages
name*less
face*less
cage*less
age*less
