Burnt

From Out to Up

By The Shattered PoetPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Ricocheting off the calendar

Overbooked and underpaid

Lunch hour, worked beyond

Luster dulled for corporate cake

+

Tasks left incomplete

Halfway home, carpooled with stress

Attention’s still at work

Think green pasture, step from ledge

+

Blue dreams emerging

Light twinkles through jade clouds

Underwhelmed by life problems

Nerves settled with herbs ground

Time be elusive, aunt Mary makes her rounds

The Shattered Poet

Healing through creative introspection.

A writer, or a visual artist who paints with words in straight lines, haha; either way, enjoy the reads!
