Or, “It’s OK to Simply Be Sometimes”
Everyone in the world keeps asking me for my attention
My time for their words, idea, perspective
My focus on what they made
Because they hope to change me
Some days I feel willing to be changed
But lately all I want is to heed the call of the dew on the garden
Still in shadow from the rising sun
To sit with the birdsong
Still in shadow from the rising sun
To sit with the birdsong
And the warming cloak of silence
And let myself stay exactly as I am
And let myself stay exactly as I am
