Twelve days in Paradise
(The flu could not challenge my idyllic state of mind
For this reason: I've thoroughly absorbed the concept of
Perfection as non-existent)
Perhaps twelve days in paradise is my limit
For this reason: Though I've been calling it a night
By 9PM, I awoke, today, feeling exhausted, as though
Nursing a hangover after being drunk on love
Yesterday, Will and I agreed to watch Tony and Ray, today
And as the boys are truly excited to have us all to themselves
I'll not disappoint them ... However, upon awakening, feeling
More exhausted than refreshed, I made this decision:
Tomorrow, I'm doing nada. Why?
Because my memory's file drawer #1 just flew open, and
As certain snapshots flashed before my eyes, I pictured
My exhaustion, which had lasted many weeks after
My creation of an idyllic Passover weekend for
Family and friends, so upon awakening exhausted, this morning
I was mindfully attentive when intuition whispered of
My need to plan differently, this time, ensuring that I enjoy
Our family's sense of togetherness without depleting every last drop of
My energy as had been true in March ... And with intuition
Heightening my sense of conscious awareness to focuse on
Creating change for the better, indight into common sense will
Guide my whole sense of self to walk forward on the path where
I, taking heed of my personal needs, will keep my spirit feeling
Younger than springtime though as years continue to pass
Deeper truth, highlighting reality, suggests that my age
Catches up with me, none the less! which is why
It's imperative that positive focus and reality go forth, hand in hand
