I’ve been Dis-eased

i have a dis-ease…a feeling of melancholy…tearing at my rib cage…just below the heart…as if it was a knotted rope about six inches round…

i’ve tried to change that symbolism…a ribbon tied really tightly around a round container…but i am unable to untie the ribbon…my inner feeling tells me ‘No!…don’t go there’…but being the person that i am…

i long to untie this ribbon…it must be untied – cutting it would not do…disturbs the mystery…untie-slowly…disrobing the round container…the ribbon- a negligee…a synthetic blend that has it own identity…thong…covering that round container…

“should i open it?” i question my self…no response…listen! cecil, listen…but i resist….the temptation increases…now? really? – i finger the rim of the round container…its cardboard covered in material…

i feel some energy…a warmth oozing out the edge of the container…it feels good…i find myself intrigued…NOW!

the lid flips off easily…i look inside…Blakes Dogs!…lying in a circular pattern…nose to nose – one hundred and twenty degrees apart…propellers at rest…

“why aren’t they barking?” i ask myself, not expecting an answer…i dont get one…i smile…

seriousness is dissolving…at last…after so long, seriousness is dissolving…leaving me with a smile…can i now relax?…can i now laff?…can i finally surrender to joy, to love, to life…i must accept the gift in the round container…i will…i will…take it in a little at a time…savour it…a fine feeling…belonging…senses seem to like it, too…i feel lighter…freer…hahhahah…
