Summer!

No limits

no worries

Free time

and endless fun

Days of boredom

and no routines

Who wouldn’t love this?

Me!

 

When you have to finish what you started.

Nothing else matters

until you get to the end.

Then the bittersweet moment

where you realize you have nothing else to live for

but this,

This

is

Done.

Small things that are irksome

and take up more time than expected.

Where patience is a virtue

rarely seen anymore.

Divert your focus from the annoying delay

and enjoy your surroundings.

Sometimes you can be surprised

by the little charms these inconveniences may cause.

Goobledy-gook streams past the teeth

into the air

and past the sensors

that could possibly have censored it.

Inane phrases

repeated over and over.

When can I stop talking

and feel like I have control over my tongue again.

Maybe I should sleep

and then think on it!

It sometimes happens in once upon a time

but rarer

for it happens to each individual

and what their lifetime entails

will not be the same

so the once in a lifetime

could be the perfect job or spouse

or for some

it could just be a few breathes of life

before their parents hold them

and love them

for the precious moments they had together.

No one will understand the true depths

of another’s once

but all are valid and given freely.

 

I’ll get back into gardening

and then I’ll try writing that novel

or be able to go on that cruise I wish to go on.

Maybe I’ll be able to find the perfect partner

or at least someone who I like to hang out with.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I was able to afford a bigger house

or perhaps a new car.

I don’t understand why people dream for the impossible

yet here I am doing it myself.

Anyone tells you otherwise

they are trying to sell you something.

Like a bridge over the Grand Canyon

or the fact you are worthless.

Or maybe its a cult

and they debate you into it.

Wait, I think the corporations

have already done this?

Nah, why shouldn’t I believe them

when they tell me I’m not pretty enough

or slim enough or funny enough

because I don’t use their products.

Maybe because I am my own person

and know my own self worth

and I refuse to let them define me!

When you realize

you will not have enough time.

The things to accomplish

will never be done

today.

There is always tomorrow

and you can enjoy what you have left

of whatever weather you experience

and the ways it makes you feel.

 

First it was the tailbone

Then I scraped my finger

Next was a bruised thigh

and oh did it hurt

I wonder what clumsy action

will provide the new pain?

Dark brown liquid

in my mug which brings me joy

its my wake up juice
