Free to be,
cup of tea,
quiet,
candle lit,
purring cat, an empty day before me,
as I turn my mind from chores I could do,
people I could see,
for today I have been set free to be,
by people who care for me,
a gift.
+
so, inevitably I guess,
the guilt creeps up behind me,
tapping me on the shoulder,
but I will not entertain it.
+
another cup of tea….
(why not….?)
and a walk,
or a swim,
a book to read…
or none of these…
+
so I seek the quiet within,
and let myself sink
into it,
slowly,
care-less-ly
today, I am free to be….
