Taking a step back from intensity to relax can be a good thing but what if that good thing is actually a challenge for a Type A personality?
challenge myself to a zen like trial The Tao asks me to surrender completely Within the next twenty four hours it seems I am not to protest but to accept How difficult when I want to be outspoken Perhaps even arbitrary in making my point Yet I know this is necessary action to cease If only to see what it could actually bring me My adrenaline is high and I want to fight I am angry at many things yet nothing In particular and do not quite know why I just want to resist and be arbitrary Yet I am asked to be still and cease The smirk on my face betrays my very stance I know I have to let go if I am to grow with chance To remain in my ego is to remain blind
By what is asked of me… a feat in the moment The moment of my ultimate head rest and cease Cease and desist to let it go … already I proved I could be cranky and snappy all day Now is time to rest and rejuvenate yet.. the fire Still burns in my eye and my pen flows with ink Until I am writing blankly… the ink runs out Time stands still.. I am falling down a hill To rest on a migraine of resistance to just A release of a breath a change of a thought Of what I naught so I sigh aloud
And I settle down to rest
