Haiku Smorgasbord

The random cacophony

Inside of my brain

***

Tangled ball of yarn

Each thought a different color

A beautiful mess

***

Where will this thread lead?

I cannot quite grasp the end

It rolls out of reach

***

Other thoughts fly by

Bouncing red rubber dodgeballs

Smack me in the face

***

I have given up

Bringing order to chaos

Let chaos now reign

***

These colorful threads

My cerebral silly string

Think it’s party time!

***

Who brought the glitter

And tossed it like pixie dust

Happy little thoughts

***

Other sloshing thoughts

Spill out of red solo cups

And on to the floor

***

They’re playing limbo

Wow! These thoughts can go THAT LOW?

Did not expect that

***

Oooh, there’s a cake walk

Endless walking in circles

Same song on repeat

***

Will this madness end?

I flop down dramatically

Amidst the fracas

***

I take a deep breath

Filling my belly with air

I let it out. One.

***

Air tickles my nose

On its way to my belly

Expand, contract. Two.

***

My lungs, twin balloons

Capture and release the air

A sigh escapes. Three.

***

Each breath is numbered

As I continue to breathe

Finding sweet stillness

***

Calm has been restored

How is my brain so quiet?

Shhhh. Just enjoy it.
