It battles within me today
The long list of “need to do’s”
Versus the freeflowing of things I want to do
My creativity fighting against practicality
Words bubbling up inside my heart
And making their way to my mind
Wanting to be released through my fingers
Oh, for a day of nothing to do!
Where there is no schedule
No tasks
No obligations
Just one day to immerse in the artistic river
And let it flow however it wishes
Gentle or raging
And just enjoy the ride
Not really knowing where it will take me
Sigh…
But
I’m off to the grocery store
The bank
The mall
The post office
The school
Laundry needs folding
Meals to be made
Rooms to be cleaned
Appointments to be scheduled
Kids to be driven
Friends to call back
Costumes to plan
Company to entertain
The day to day stuff that I wouldn’t trade for the world
I will love every minute of it
And will keep dreaming of my day on the river…
