Day #125 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing

Allowing Myself to Be Caught

Sometimes writing looks like sitting beneath
the poplar, bare feet resting
in the cool, afternoon grass, eyes staring
out to the restless mountain lake—

yes, there is a stern voice inside insisting
that I do something 
I can check off the list, but

a kinder voice gently 
invites me to hush, 

invites me to give myself permission 
to be unproductive, lazy,
directionless—

urges me to lie back
in the cool, green grass 
and allow myself 
to be caught.
