Poem: June 20, 2019

Do or Do Not

I am trying to learn to settle down,
to quiet my fast-talking inner voice,
the one that is always hustling,
that always has something to say.

I am trying to learn to linger
over the pictures I see, to do
myself a favor and enjoy the slow
read, the sustained and quiet sleep.

I am trying to create blank spaces
and learn how to let them be,
to empty my pockets and travel light,
to measure less, and deeply breathe.
