2000/2ndqtr/days

I am trying to learn
how my days should feel,
how my life wants to be
now that I am free to live it.
Routine and schedule
have never worked for me.
I prefer rhythm,
knowing when it’s time
to ease off or let go
altogether,
when to put down
what I am doing
because I’ve lost the pulse.
Sometimes I sit and wait
to see what’s next,
I’m learning to trust
not knowing.
Until the place where
the life has gone
calls out, “Over here,”
and the beat picks up
again.
