Around and around, the twirl of a plastic bag
As the wind picks it up and makes it dance
With no hidden obstacles or any sort of snag
An incidental manner by chance
To be blowing in the breeze without any care
Just free and easy to do as it please
If life were that easy you must beware
Abnormal functioning it’s some sort of disease
Is what they would all say
A pill for this a pill for that
There’s no time to dance or play
Hardly time to sit and chat
What’s wrong with watching
Watching what’s going on in your mind
sitting still and stopping
The answers you might find
Free yourself from self-imposed constraint
When you can’t find the word
Can’t even form the thought to complain
To even be heard
hold onto your dreams
Even when it feels like it’s falling apart
Especially if your close to letting go at the seams
Let them stay alive within your heart
Sometimes the simplest things are the best
like watching a plastic bag dance in the wind
Reinvigorate that enjoyment and simple zest
Flow with and not against the north wind.
