Screaming dreams
pulled me back
to square one
I don’t want to
know which way I
was facing
’cause, now back
to the beginning
I realise that
Square one is my home
I want to explore
its edges
Dive in its safety
Sleep in its whiteness
Dream in its shelter
The end was
only a respite
The beginning –
a sanctuary
A Blind Bird 
Interesting!

Romanticism about defense mechanism? Whatever the deeper meaning, the poem was absolutely amazing. This has come to be expected from you 🙂

Haha! Yes, maybe. The meaning of this poem is pretty much on the surface, really – I feel I should write more like what I used to than where it went after a while – Thank you, Spahr! You’re always very kind. 🙂

I’m wrapping my head round the last stanza – I like it when poems are like that, you know, really make you think. Like, attain something deeper than an understanding.

Wonderful poem! Reminded me of my thoughts in the haiku and the song from this post http://21shadesofblue.com/2013/11/26/new-haiku-please-square-this-circle/ copy/pasted below.
“Please Square This Circle”
by Ry Hakari
This superstitious
cyclically surreal,
cul-de-sac spinning
square the circle:
idiom
to find a good solution to a problem when that seems impossible, especially because the people involved have very different needs or opinions about it

“Crank”
by The Catherine Wheel
Love my superstitious games
Running circles round my brain when I’m left smiling
I love to steal this living steam
My head in someone’s dream
I’m tired of sleeping
Call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
I build my canopy of steel
It fulfills my sense of real
A chrome protection
Call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
It’s clear
In this small partition, like a prison
Explode time bomb
If you know where I come from
You call me crank, my idea
Crank, so super
Crank, my conscience clear
Please call me crank, it’s what I need
Crank, my mind in seed
Crank, my dream complete
Lay down, lay down, lay down

Thank you very much, Ryan! The haiku is can be called a sister-haiku of the poem I wrote – especially because of the last line “cul-de-sac spinning” simply brilliant!
Also the song! It was splendid – your comments are always so thought provoking, it’s a delight to know you. 🙂

I’ve had a lot of “square ones” in my life and I can honestly say I wouldn’t trade in a single one. Because out of each one has come an opportunity for growth in mind, body, and spirit. Wonderful poem!!
