Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Be Lackadaisical As Often As You Can

be lackadaisical as often as you can
lie in the grass staring into the leaves 
enjoying the float of the clouds

be imaginative 
encourage your thoughts to wander
be fiercely protective of your me time

let yourself melt into the moment
listen to the sounds of the day
let your body rest any way it wants to

be lazily relaxed
be uncommonly silent
be aware of what your soul needs

these moments cannot be replaced
and they can replenish you
energizing your bliss.
Be lackadaisical as often as you can

Harry Horsman March 11, 2020 at 1:47 AM Been there, and done that Caren, great poetry, especially for this day and age... Caren Krutsinger March 12, 2020 at 5:27 AM Thank you Harry; it came to me haphazardly and in a restful way.

Cecilia Macfarlane March 10, 2020 at 9:30 PM I did not know this word, thanks for this awesome poem and advice. We all need days like this that you wonderfully described . Hugs Caren Krutsinger March 12, 2020 at 5:27 AM I just love being lackadaisical but I have to look up the spelling every time. Glad you know it now Cecilia, so you can finally be it.

Arturo Michael March 10, 2020 at 9:02 AM This is nice...suited for the daydreamer in us... Caren Krutsinger March 12, 2020 at 5:28 AM I daydreamed so much of my school-childhood away it is barely a dream now.
