Features beyond a resting place — a search for hope drawn on my
face. In some way, I’ve lost direction; so wherever the river flows,
that’s where my thoughts are drawn. __Pause__. One, two, three.
I forget what comes next. Even boxed in, life keeps folding me into
new shapes — creases of maybe, edges of almost. My armies of
failures find their formation, ready to march without hesitation.
I keep umbrella terms handy for days like this, when words drizzle
but never really pour. I’m under the weather, I'm just _overthinking,_
awake with my fears —and even open eyes still dream, though it’s
mostly reality forcing them to blink.
It would prove handy to try and start an open-handed conversation
with myself, but my inner voices keep putting me on hold. Engines
rev, motivation hums, but procrastination presses pause; and then
everything idles.
I was meant to write this earlier, but time said: “Rest a little longer.”
And I listened, like I always do —finding comfort just beyond this
resting place.
