I turn away because today needs a courage too heavy
and I packed light this morning.
did you know that rest
is not weakness?
It took me a long time to learn that one
because I crave moments and energy and highs
but my body does not
some days it cannot carry a tea
much less the courage or hope needed to do anything more
resting is choosing a future over the present
a demanding feat when living in the moment is everything
still / I honor my body
and unhinged / I rest
to be a force of nature
one must be patient with the storm
