What Propels The Pendulum Of Our Hearts?

by Tom Goss

1.
The trees
that breathe
the sky

the leaves
that wilt
and cry

the flowers
that whisper
then die

2.
Attention:
The above letters are simply juxtaposed remnants of a poetry burp;
the kind of indigestion that spontaneously forms in your head.
Suddenly, you find you are under attack as the offending poem
rides its way to freedom on the pumping-blood-vessel roads that
begin in your head and end in the twitching electricity
of your remote-controlled fingertips.

Fluctuating hormones swing my pendulum far more than I am comfortable with. Darnit, sometimes they DO ride down into the tips of my typing fingers or my tripping tongue. Great read here!

I think you have covered everything here, head to toe even lower, deeper than "fingertips"... and I just sit amidst the fallen and "flowers" and "leaves" underneath the tree overwhelmed with the scents of it all...
