Making Tracks

    Photo by Douglas Sailsbiry

My mind, my heart, my thoughts are racing;
it’s time to leave this land of lacking,
cause now it's clear, what I am facing.
My mind, my heart, my thoughts are racing
all night, awake, I spend it pacing.
With morning light to finish packing
my mind, my heart, my thoughts are racing.
It’s time to leave this land of lacking.



For the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.

    Moving on necessary, but a bit painful. Great voice for the photo. Thank you so much for writing for the prompt!

    What a great way to use the tempo of the triolet. The cadence moves you along to leave what's lacking.

    What is lacking can well make things a bit confusing. But if the resolve is to finish packing in the morning then it must be done with lots of thinking
