I stretch my limbs - warm under the stars and moon
Flexing and tensing, feeling the luxury of being comfortable within myself
The clock ticks away the minutes and the hours
A gentle heartbeat of what is, what was and what will be
It is good - to have time
I like watching the sky transition between night and day
It makes me feel at once small but present
I wonder if I mean anything (does it matter)
Outside the wind churns and moans
I huddle lower under my covers
At breakfast I will eat toast and honey, a piping hot cup of tea.
It never fails to surprise me that I’ve had a second, third, fourth time
To feel comfortable with this base -
To luxuriate in its building.
Beautiful and love these lines "To feel comfortable with this base / To luxuriate in its building.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, oh yes! Beautifully described, and how I relate!
ReplyDelete"...I wonder if I mean anything (does it matter)..."
ReplyDeleteYes you do. Yes it does.
I'm slowly rebuilding before it all collapses! Nicely done Jae 👏
ReplyDeleteFeeling comfortable in one's own skin is both a goal and a luxury, but being uncomfortable pushes us to grow.
ReplyDeleteYou matter indeed. I resonate with your feelings of appreciating regained peacefulness. I think I will have some toast and honey myself!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a well deserved blessing feeling comfortable in your own skin and if you matter to at least one other human then I think you have won the lottery. I have known too many who have not and they all had families.
ReplyDeleteTo be comfortable with one's own self is the most luxurious
ReplyDeleteJae, I too am glad for you, able to watch the change from night to day. I've never tried that or even recognized it's happening. Must try that.
