Cinquain #23

When I

Consider something lost it

Really isn’t gone. It is here

Somewhere and this includes my mind gone wandering

Away from

Home for

Reasons I don’t know.

When it left I wasn’t paying

Attenion to my thoughts and perhaps my mind

Was hurt.

I’d been

Weeding the garden and

It took so much longer than

I’d guessed but my mind wandered off into

How to

Make a

fairy garden, and then

To wondering if fairies had been

Real sometime in the distant past, before writing

And poems.

All this

Brought me back to

Weeding and thinking I should finish

And get to cooking dinner and then I

Was found.
