I Took A Day Off

Left everything behind,

The worries of yesterday,

Knowing thoughts of tomorrow,

The callous nature of life,

The loss of love in my world.

~

These are all really simple things

everyone knows. I once thought 

the world was completely 

out of my hands. 

Now I know that’s too easy.

~

I have to live every day 

of my life in the light 

of what is right. 

Even if on occasion, 

I’d be happier misled.

~

I suppose it’s easy to wonder, 

it at least takes the edge off.

It’s like taking a day off when

everything seems askew.

I’ll rather enjoy today… ‘than.’
