Thought Trains


Post, Promote or Package?
~The Home~



TOO MANY THOUGHTS
Will drive you
Insane...
they make a thought train
that choo choos
Chews
Right through your brain..

Project ideas,
Rambling thoughts
Steaming away;
They dont make much sense
The train is immense
So just writing them out
To make me less tense...

See
The problem is now
Is where do I start?
There are too many things
I want to capture in art!

Having done a few
Mind mega maps
To give my brain fuel
And a trip off to poole
I have some project ideas
That could be pretty cool...

I was thinking of slippers
And putting them on stamps
So you could stick them
on an envelope,
And send it to your Gramps...



Slippers, flippers?
Shoes in general.
I could draw them
Or design them
Or take pictures
Of a few,
I could make some
In miniature
And package those up too

Sticking with slippers,
And being cosy at home...
How my home
is my home
When im safe
alone
And in my slippers...
Maybe with a cup of tea
And
it used to be
Furry Bernie
But now its a pen
or a sketchbook
Beside me.

My slippers are warm
And they go best
With tea,
Because tea is also
Warm.

Then i thought a lot
About warmth
And comfort
And peace
And how good it feels
To have sweet release.
Peace.

So i was thinking of peace
And peace in the home
And what makes a home
Your very own
Sanctuary.



A home
is where You're comfy
and safe
You can make it
Your very own
Personal space,
To your own unique taste
And just let yourself
Be
in your happy place.

So i thought about
Being...
And just
Being
Here
Now.

And how im so
Thankful
In this moment
To be free
in this way,
To have such a lovely home
To be me in
today...
And how it feels good
To be more at ease
Because ive stepped off the train
And remembered
To
Breathe.

So for a moment
I do
Just breathe
in...
...and...
out....
And the thoughts
do not shout
But just
drift away
In
the thought stream,
And i am totally
Sitting on the bank,
Out.

And everything
Is
Calm.

But
Like i said,
only for
A moment.
Before
CHOO CHOO
Oh
here we go!
Its back!
The thought train
Chewing
On its track...

So i hop right on
And get whisked away
Slippers? Homes?
Things in homes
That make it your own:
Furniture, photos
Collections
Toys, stickers..
The urge to collect
Random stuff?

Sticking with
Stickers,
I mean slippers...
Warm.
Peace.
Being here today?
The Now...
And Now.
Not stressing
Being calm...



I should make
A poster
To put on my wall
That i can see
At all times
It should say
Just stop
And just breathe.
And write it down.
Or draw...

Write, draw
Make it the law.

Now this
Is
Getting silly.

I could promote
The Now
But How?
Be calm
Have a cup of tea,
Chill
Pick up a pen
Doodle
In your slippers

Hmm

I think
I think
Too much
And I think
I might just
Go
with the original
Slippers theme.
