in this state
of spirit locked to matter
this mind, this head
thinks too highly of itself
separated from the rest of flesh
by a thin columnar neck
so we say, mind over matter
and not so much spirit versus flesh
because we can see the separation;
when all is the same animal
with spirit, with mind
all made magical
and together fused
unless, forgetting this,
this head fans its own greatness,
pure thought expanding like heated air
in a brilliant, rainbow balloon
takes flight and floats me with it
to land who knows where
Susan Daniels Poetry 
I say sometimes a big head is needed to deal with big issues. as long as there is perspective and a string to bring it back down to earth…i say let it swell. you have anchors…they won’t let you float far.
LOL, yep 🙂
My sistah from another mothah, I think there is nothing wrong with swelling, in moderation…oh, no matter how I say it, it’s going to come out dirty, so just gonna drop it right now…and let your mind wander where it will, just keep holding that string.
holding on tight…not to worry. you go where you need to go and your anchors will bring you back when the time is right!
🙂 Thank you Rhonda–I will not just smile, know you hate that…..
That is a “thanks for not dragging it further into the gutter and elevating it instead” smile…
well heck…now i can’t just smile either. *smile*
😉 can I wink?
😉 yup
This made me laugh. Now I hear The Fifth Dimension singing, Up, Up, and Away. Enjoy the ride and the view!
I had fun with this one 🙂 Have not ridden in a hot-air balloon in ages…Used to date a guy (right out of high school, I was) whose parents had a business, taking their balloon all over western New York 🙂
Your humor is so devilish – my knees quake (haha)
🙂 glad you liked it–I told you that floating ego was going to drift into a poem soon 🙂
Well, darling go on with your bad-self.
It was tastefully said! – loved it if you were wondering!
ha!
🙂 thanks, Mari–going to behave now… Got it out of my system, for at least the next hour… I hope
ha! : )
your writing is inspiring.
Thank you Jenni–and nice to meet you 🙂
Ah good stuff and nicely put, personally I find it hard to get my ego overinflated more interested in inflating my Wit 🙂
🙂 yes! All I can do is say that, as any discussion of inflation is bound to get someone to say something equally damning and silly, and this time, I am going to “rise above it.”
Poem, wow! Comments and exchanges, even wow-er! sometimes, I discover I am too young to understand codes!
LOL, even better to back away with caution, as I am doing, right now 🙂
