I envy those
who plan and walk
with measured steps
and measured speech
at peace with their lives
would that I could
slow the heart
move with purpose
and grace
stop making noise
instead
I flail like a clumsy child
learning to paddle
in the shallows
going nowhere fast
just trying to stay afloat
inspired by “I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.” Audre Lorde
“I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.”
I’d be envious of anyone who could it make such a strong declarative statement as well. How about if I paddle around in the shallows with you? Sounds like fun!
come on in! better hurry while the water is still warm – temps are dropping and it will soon be time for fires in the fireplace lol
