Any clutter
causing turmoil,
attempt to toil
and scrub keenly
rinse liberally
wipe cleanly
look gingerly
It’s Spring!
Hurry!
Remove the mess
missing calmness
too much there
too little where
it really counts
{sigh!}
Futile movements
STOP!
Relax,
observe
sight see
in your chi!
Explore!
corners and inspect
under crannies
introspect
scrutinize
reconnoiter
do not tolerate
things that loiter
fester and disintegrate
left with useless rubbish
causing souls to tarnish,
losing life’s clear luster;
Investigate
contemplate
meditate
navel-gazing
can be daunting
awful or amazing…
times even
hair-raising…
Feeling outrage!?
don’t dispirit
seek a sage,
catch the culprit
of doom
and gloom
and misery!
trash the felon
forever gone !
Now, there’s room
for finer things
like hope and love
long-lasting peace
tranquility
… and,
serenity.

Hi Cher, you explore the whole issue of clutter very well. It is an interesting concept I find. Like how did it get there in the first place. And why has it become such an issue as to clean it out. Does it then suggest you clean out to make room for more? I think you have raised an excellent discussion. But I do hope you personally feel better for the exercise. Take care.

Ah, Michael, when I need a break I use the mind…the intellect to steer away from the heart …just for a pause, a breather … otherwise I become the mess 😉

I see then one would not want to see you as the mess. I like that metaphor then. Thank you for explaining.

Hi Cher…a good spring cleaning is always a good idea…especially when we’re cleaning out some of the clutter accumulated over time from inside our mind! Liked what you’ve done here and it’s set me to reflecting!

Glad you enjoyed it. I need to do some decluttering of physical things and usually that purges emotional stuff too.

Know what you mean…decluttering for me is a long long process…I keep stopping and looking and wondering…yes, no and sometimes the stuff just get moved 😉

Yep, sometimes I even go in the trash bag to get an item out and put in the “keep” pile and shove it in the back of the closet. Sheesh!! I should think more in the line of…if my kids have to clean up this sh….., would I want all this stuff here?

That might just work…thinking of others doing our cleaning could give it all a new perspective!
