Exceptional Three short reflections during treatment. Daydreams from the Ashes : Snippets by K. Olsen

If this is what it is to be calm, To feel the buffeting of waves And keep the flexibility of palm, Then let this be what saves This endless peace of mind. A medicine that flows, drifts... A sheet of paper signed And folded into white rifts, Valleys and slopes of ink, That memory might link. *** Happiness is... ...a sunset edged in royal purple and golden gleam. ...a familiar song on a sun-weathered red radio. ...a roughness of old paper under fingertips. ...a perfume of clean sheets from a warm dryer. ...a lingering sweetness of mint on the tongue. *** Quiver like a drifting feather: Take refuge in the wind. A bird on wing lets go and falls up. Author Notes This is pretty much stream of consciousness from a very reflective day of treatment. The medication does a good job of altering how I think during it, so I apologize if they are messy.
