Congestion

Slowly Moving Forward

Limited suggestion

Since the congestion

Of my mind

Over time

And the value

Of a minute

Or an hour

Blooms like a flower

Fast and sweet

Barely moved my feet

To accomplish anything new

As I've been stunned

After everything came unglued

And now that the situation is taped up tight

I am soaking in the peacefulness

Every night

Trying to figure out

What is next insight

Not used to the freedom

And my own right

To make decisions

Without so much precision

And patience at play

A new plan

A new day

And butterflies

All the way
