I slept last night.
Really slept
For the first time in a long time
I woke up to still-sleepy eyes
And knew it was going to be
A slow-ish kind of day
I took nap on the couch
Sipped my coffee
Took the dog for a walk to soak up the sun
Now it's almost 9 at night
And I find myself wondering
Where did the day go?
Like sand through my fingers
It slipped away, slowly, restoratively
Just what my brain needed...a quiet, slippery Saturday.
I, too, had a quiet, slippery Saturday. It went by quickly, but it was a good day of rest and relaxation. "It slipped away, slowly, restoratively; Just what my brain needed...a quiet, slippery Saturday." - LOVE this final line!
ReplyDeleteI like your imagery of your Saturday being like sand between your fingers. I feel that way about my Saturday too!
ReplyDeleteHope you got the rest your body needed. Glad that you listened and had a quiet slippery Saturday. Lovely poem!
