Some Say

Some people doubt that I slow enough to rest Tell me to stop, to enjoy what I have created But, don’t you see me here? Sitting and breathing in my garden Someone told me lately that they think I like chaos and calamity to be absorbed, to thrive but I don’t know why they think that when order keeps me safely grounded A friend said they noticed I like to find solutions And this is so true to my very character Also, I’ve learned to put chores in mind boxes To be ready tomorrow when the next box is opened And some say my day is mostly organized Into needs of future goals right beside today’s chosen fun Swirled inside these seams are ripples of challenges Exasperation that my plans melt in others open palms Just breath with the garden or go to the beach Amazing but fifteen minutes, an hour, a day really can refresh my page with newfound energy or clarity some say when the day is done, gratitude is not just a word
