Desert Flower by Paleos |
My mama said there'll be days like this, so goes a song. I am awake yet i am in deep slumber. Not restful. Just inert. In my head i am a spectator of all the movement taking place outside of me. I am not oblivious to the beauty that surrounds me such as the unfolding of the night sky, the lushness of the flora, the playful chorus of birds... i see them all. I also see those around me tick off their to-do lists, one by one getting things done. Life -- as they live it, is but passing me by.
Dry. Thirsty.
Yet inspiration does not escape me. There is an oasis if i just dig in. It is just that on some days i need to dig deeper.
