I found myself walking from room to room
Dusting here, flicking there
Until soon I was shoving things out of the way
Bumping into chairs and bruising my shins
I need to clean this house, I thought
And as my tantrum reached full bloom
A sudden thought burst into my head
Like a bumble bee delivering pollen
From the lotus a million miles away.
A sunbeam fell upon my hand, pale and cold
Breath caught in my throat somewhere
A tear fell slipping down upon my nose to lay
In tiny rainbows shimmering there
And thoughts began to sift through them
Falling gently….quietly ….but still quite bold
Upon an idea whose birth was near
Borne by a light too ephemeral to hold
Saying …. you are not feeling well today.
Such simple thoughts, such plain words
And yet the comfort that they brought
To know that I was not a bad person
Only a person feeling bad today.
And I felt a little better
Right away!
