Flitting Ideas

The mind is buzzing with thoughts

Zinging around like little bots

Making connections to memories and meetings

Even to some random greetings

Spoke to my old tutor who influenced my life

Her strictness taught strong values only appreciated later in life

While another chance meeting with a supervisor

Gave me an idea of penning lines on a toxic tutor

There are seasons of flowers in my garden

From jasmine to wisteria to roses and some yellows ones that grow with abandon

Even the weeds are pretty

So could they be part of the ditty?

And what of the birds that twitter and grace the green?

From the common crows and pigeons to exotic kookaburra and parakeet with a wonderful sheen

Should I write about the places I have been?

The beaches and parks with East Coast Water Dragons that I have seen!

What about feelings asks my mind?

Should we be left behind?

The last year has been a mix of joy and sadness, meetings and partings

Memories made with old and new friends should go into the recordings?

Not to dwell on chronic illness much

Except to help others along the right path with a nudge

A friend appreciated my writing and asked for more

Wait for it as I write some more
