Two stress days 55

Lately I seek
a swathe clearing instrument:
a large scythe or maul to swing in a circle-

"Get out of my way! coming through !" 

Sometimes I desperately want
space and silence to think;
" Go away-be quiet, leave me be"

Self will and doubt
are gray shores I am courting;
If onlys sweep low overhead .

  2. I love this line: "If onlys sweep low overhead."
    I've often thought those the two saddest words in the language.

  6. Please remember there are lots of "...yeah, but(s)" still out there, and a whole truckload of "NOT YET(S)"...why won't THEY leave me alone?
