A Free Mind Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Leaning out the window, head gently lying on an arm,
looking skyward.

Wonder bouncing along with the clouds, happily playing
games within them.

Heart heavy with stress and everyday problems, yet this
mind is above, riding with the clouds, free and peace-
filled.

This discrepancy is a puzzle, but nothing more, there is
no worry or obsession with it.

Reveling in a funny mood, finding self caught, enjoying
what I do not understand.

Looking skyward, heart racing with the wind, blowing
clouds across the sky, freeing my mind, perpetuating
the quiet myth of reality.
