Spearmint Breath


I was encouraged to share some things I wrote in a Creative Writing workshop...

"I will go to the bank by the wood and become naked and undisguised." -Walt Whitman

Spearmint Breath
There is weirdness and oddness that is part of a creative's life.
I looked at the words I laid down without out noticing.
Follow the mountains.
Cherish your today.
Discover being "naked and undisguised" in your thoughts.
Dream of the sniff of hay in the barn,
the green of the pasture,
the radiant glow of a daffodil...
Be with your kindred spirits as their fluff speeds through your fingertips.
Reality lives in the spearmint breath of a sheep or maybe even, a yak.
The universe is offering that, which I will not be inhibited from accepting!
The words are hollow, but happy.  I think them as a melody playing in my head.
Be naked
Be undisguised
Share your melodic and happy thoughts
or not.
Reach for victory.  Celebrate the mountains climbed.
Just don't choke on enthusiasm.
