Lapse

Even a ho-hum day can inspire!

My last breath of sleep

morphs into a sluggish morning

then climbs a mountain of responsibility

ever defying gravity

my personal velocity is set at less than brisk

and my alacrity seems to be missing in action

prudently placed steps get me to where I need to be

           acting as an indentured servant

                   to this empty house

                          which is not a benevolent master

still, I serve my time willingly

     facing every banana peel slip up

          with a song and a smile

               confident it will soon lapse into a poem

Oh I know the exact feeling of waking like this Lydi... our "dreamers-mind" is always there, even though we must do our responsibilities, and it ain't always easy, with souls who pick up so many things during their day ha! ;) But there comes always art out of each and every impression/impulse, so as your art, is the one of a true poetess.... thank you for sharing this one... magnificent!

Indeed you have the ability to turn the mundane into a poem woven from descriptive words and metaphors. I think Frieda and you are both full-time professional writers in disguise lol!

Smiling here....I am honored you would compare me to Frieda because I think her poetry is wonderful. Thank you very much, John. Lydi***
