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
