The Turning

The turning

The cranking wheels of my subconscious.

The voices

The madness

The ever-present engine running this factory.

I’m too excited to sleep.

Or is it too awake.

To many dreams going on in the daylight

To warrant closing my eyes.

Perhaps it’s all just whirlwinds;

A tornado of shoulds and motion

Swirling in the distance,

Eating up the hours.

What is time anyhow?

Who gave away all his secrets.

Which arrow points to the hour

The hour I waited for you.

Too many sad poems about riddles

That never find their mystery.

Too many verbs without good solid nouns

To lift them up into eternity.

Too many lines torn apart by spaces.

Too many spaces.

All in all it’s just a dream;

Some distant wondering.

Some forgotten who.
