Burnt

From Out to Up

By The Shattered PoetPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Ricocheting off the calendar

Overbooked and underpaid

Lunch hour, worked beyond

Luster dulled for corporate cake

+

Tasks left incomplete

Halfway home, carpooled with stress

Attention’s still at work

Think green pasture, step from ledge

+

Blue dreams emerging

Light twinkles through jade clouds

Underwhelmed by life problems

Nerves settled with herbs ground

Time be elusive, aunt Mary makes her rounds
