Green Teacup

When your mind is full
What do you do?
Do you open and empty
Contents on the floor?
Do you close up the windows
And lock your front door?
Do you call round for coffee
Have a good yarn
Or run to the ocean
Flee from the farm.

Take here some ideas
Things that I've tried
Activities to empty
The halls of your mind

Pen to the pad
Ink flying along
Brisk walk in cold,
Breath cooling your lungs

Taking that breath -
Heating it up
Finding it buried
In a green teacup

Lighting the fire
Inhaling the warmth
Watching it flicker
Controlling it's form

Is it working yet?
Can you feel it fly?
Is it emptying
The corners of your mind

Questions are many
Answers are few
Somehow someway
You'll know what to do

Scrawling and crawling
Breath comes in gasps
Taking no heed
Of present or past

Forgetting the moment
Finding what's now
Wondering origins
Remembering how

Taste the sweet melody
Sing with your heart
Coz once you begin
You'll never forget 
How to start
