lol, wow, cool. especially how you ended it. i agree with your sentiments here. i often do the same, feel the same.

Let the world
swirl
and see it all
as if through
a slow motion
old mechanical
reel.

yeah, that would be way cool!

and this:

Time to honor
the complex
simplicity
of my inner clock.

that's slick too. i like that. sounds honorable, and comes across poetically. wonderful musings ! :)

This is a well written and well thought out poem. I would like to emerge a butterfly, but that is just wishful thinking! It is a pleasure to read for you!

Great poem - I enjoyed this verse:

Let the world
swirl
and see it all
as if through
a slow motion
old mechanical
reel.

Excellent.
When you retire into your cocoon, you get time to do some introspection and feel comfortable. It may raise your feel good factor. However, I think as a poet and writer you owe it to the society around you to be proactive and take a stand and use ur poetic skills to inspire people and bring about some change. Just watching the world swirl, in my opinion, is not doing justice to yourself. It is just a thought.

This is nice. Yes, when we go inward and hide, it is truly the safest place we can be. The older I become, the longer I like to linger within myself.
Thanks for sharing.

I usually feel that way when the weather turns cold and the rains or snows are falling. It is a good time to contemplate ones life. Nicely written.

You've done a very nice job explaining the need many of us have at times to just want to break away from it all for awhile and perhaps enjoy some introspection. At least that's how I perceive your poem. I like it! Connie C
