on being awake




wow...I feel like I could have written the poem below.

sometimes I feel so awake and in the moment....and sometimes I feel way too

occupied with "stuff".

have a great day.

Love,

Michele




I am awake. And clinging to my small life.

Occupied with tidying the house, and matters of finance

Steadfastly ignoring the flower of love that blooms in my heart.

Because her beauty is almost­ more than I can bear.

Occasionally, I summon the courage to look longingly at her before returning

to straightening the pictures of my life on the wall of my mind.
