Seize the day

July 2014

How ironic that I am currently lingering in the same place… Must be a habit😜

Lingering in bed with so much to do
Haven’t enough energy to get out of bed
Lying here, working on my thoughts to subdue

I cling to my pillow and write a poem instead
Push that thought over there, and this one over here
Keeping the ones I don’t want to forget

Lazily, I turn to this day as I peer
Into its list of activities, it bids me to attempt
I calculate the time,e and some will wait,t I fear

I reluctantly releasethe  pillow to begin my ascent
Nothing gets accomplished while lingering amongst sheets
Although their comforting warmth sure does tempt

I arise to face the day and its activities, defeat
Until this evening, my pillow, once again,n to it I’ll retreat
