This muddle takes its time to clear
All through my mind soaked haze.
If this breeze would calm my fear,
I’d choose to praise these days.
Should something else turn out to be
Fitting for eternity
May that with praise be right with me.

Oh I so agree, Frank. Sometimes, to clear my muddled mind, a walk outside with the trees and the breeze is just what’s needed! Nice response!

Thank you for the beautiful tree images, Frank! A sight for my sore eyes this morning. It could be a tree speaking in your poem. I love the phrase ‘mind soaked haze’ and the repetition of praise makes it sound like a prayer.

“If this breeze would calm my fear,” I close my eyes and imaging a light, warm, summer breeze hitting my face. Breathe deep then exhale all the fear. Soul cleansing. Great poem.
