EnoughA Poem by Paladin4lifeThis is just a little description of my day thus far. This poem is not anything deep or special, just the meanderings of my sleepy mind today. I hope you enjoy!Another day my eyes open What day is it Is it time for work for church or something else It was something else I climb out of bed, but awake isn't the right word for my condition Blurried eyed and clumsy yet I have never had a drink Just up a little too late I guess I go about the day's business drowning out the voice within A few hours later my immediate tasks are complete Now the voice, the feelings will no longer remain quenched From the depths of my soul floods waves of emotion Feelings reflecting my current state I have loved twice and liked a few times Yet always On my tax return I check single I was surprised at their intensity. My body is tired and my soul is too I don't have the strength At least not today I force Pandora's lid to close for one more day Perhaps some other time I can process Another day I can purge away the lonliness and dispair But for today I took a nap instead Just a little one but It was enough The cumbersome emotions regressed like the tide I am not rid of them by any means but I will live In the absence of grief I feel content On another day I shall pursue love At another time I will seek my soul mate Not today though, at least not actively My eyes brighten as my heart's burden slips beyond my consciousness At least for the day this blessing is enough
