Only for today!

I am sad...


Today I am sad, and that's not me!
Yet the reason behind, I just can't see. 
I feel listless, a bit like a rag doll
that on its own, simply cannot stand tall.

Oh winds, please blow strong and lift my soul
I feel like a fallen leaf, that has lost its goal  
I don't want to do anything,just nothing at all
But from where is this coming, how did I fall?

This is so not me, and yet I am not even worried 
I want an outside force to lend me its motion, unhurried!
I seek no real answer, why do I need to know?
The restless spirit today wants to go with the flow.

For a while, let me silently watch my spirits ebb away,
Allow me to detach and from my chosen path, stray!
Surely, its fine for my shoulders to momentarily, droop?
Its ok to wish to lose one's self in a crowd, or a group?

Grant me the luxury today, to palpate my solitariness
To feel nothing within, simply wander about, completely aimless.
I seek your strength today, oh mighty winds of change!
Yes, I am not myself today and you may find it strange.

But when you will have blown me over unchartered lands
After unknown locales and lives,I will have lazily scanned
I am sure my soul will want to hark back to its shore
Find its usual rhythm again, my spirits will once more,soar.

Till such time, I think I shall lie low 
To a relatively strange emotion, I shall bow.
So sadness, feel free to come, possess me for a while
Bask a while, if you must, but you won't take my smile.

For tomorrow is another day, and you and I shall part
My spirit - today listless, tomorrow shall again dart.
Thus caress me Unhappiness, while you still have time
For you, I will again be elusive; I shall never be thine.


  



Standing on the edge of happiness!
