Wandering Mind

How to Calm a Wandering Mind,
authored through half its chapters
In a lonely cabin
off the road just behind. 

Where the feeble hero paused to find, 
His words of wisdom
long lost and shattered.

Scattered...
Like broken chimes...

of a grandfather clock,
Ringing...
on borrowed time.

Synchronized, if only for a moment, 
but still a moment too few. 
For his wandering mind 
could be calm no more. 

As he penned his last how to.
